Opaque versus transparent for DIY projects – what’s your take?

Hey guys! So I’m working on a lil’ shelf project and can’t decide between opaque versus transparent materials.

Opaque feels sturdier, but transparent (like acrylic) looks sleek af. But does it scratch easier?

Also, when *should* you even choose one over the other? Like, opaque for hiding messy insides, transparent for showing off fancy stuff inside?

Kinda torn lol. What’s y’all’s experience?

*Or if durability’s the focus:*

Opaque versus transparent – which lasts longer?

Debating materials for an outdoor thingy. Opaque seems tougher, but I’ve seen some clear polycarbonate that’s pretty resilient.

Does transparent yellow over time? Or does opaque chip more?

Spill your thoughts!
