Which is better: opaque versus transparent materials for DIY projects? or Opaque versus transparent –

Opaque feels more “solid” to me, but transparent materials like acrylic or glass can be surprisingly strong.

For outdoor stuff, opaque won’t yellow, but some high-end polycarbonate (like Lexan) resists UV. Downside? Costs more.

Scratches are a thing with clear stuff, but if you’re careful, it’s worth it for the aesthetic.
