Just put a window in my SAB

How many of you have modified your SAB to get a better view? I read a few threads where people had added a clearer window. I used the same 6" can I made the other holes with, heated on the stove and pressed through. Sanded the edges, attached an 8x10" thin piece of lexan with superglue especially for plastics.
 Taped off the area (kinda clumsily), attached the lexan to the top.
 Hey, I use my SAB on the carpet, is that a problem? Obviously kidding...just placed it there with a towel to show a stellar view in the center with an area around that that's slightly more obscure than before. Small trade off, I think. Cost me 9 bucks total. I could have used some glass I had around to save on that but my box is stored between uses and it'd be awfully depressing to start prepping it and accidentally break it. Tonight, when it's cured, I'll put a bead of clear silicone around it on the inside to be sure of a perfect seal. It's really less a window than it is a porthole. Maybe if I do it again I'll take the time to make a square hole. I guess you could also just use the tub right-side-up and use plexiglass for a removable top but I kinda like it upside down.

Making a hole on top of your SAB seems like a bad idea, but idk🤷🏻♂️
You sure you’re not supposed to add glass?

That’s really good man I didn’t even realize the hole was covered in the last picture.

Not quite sure what you mean...the hole in that second picture is covered with a piece of lexan, it's just crystal clear. There was only a hole there for ten minutes. Same function as before just easier to see.
Ha! I missed your reply while I was typing. Funny.

Honestly, I already had the can and I wanted to melt the hole instead of cutting it out. And a slight lack of patience.
