Lorelei suggested this flexible fabric and I was able to say that we have a
roll of that in our loft, so we will see if it will work for this clock.
We cant try it this weekend as we left the clock to see if the otehr company
could quote for the stiffer stuff they use for signs.
In a perfect world I would much prefer to have domed glass or plastic which
would allow the lace and the clock hands to be encased but in this case it
cant happen, so I hope to make the best of things and hope this works out
ok. Yes I understand that lace or other fabrics would survive better with
an air gap etc but I need to be content with the best I can achieve under
the circumstances. Thank you for your help folks. I dont feel quite as bad
now.

You might try fabric stores. They sometimes have fairly thick, flexible
acrylic on bolts, like fabric. People use it to make rain coats,
waterproof sacks, etc. The stuff can be sewn through with a sewing
machine and cut by hand with scissors.

As some of you may know I have been working on a piece of circular lace
to go into my clock and am about a week away from finishing it. I got
excited and got the clock down again trying to decide what cloth or paper
colour to put behind the lace on completion to show it to its best
advantage. I took it out of its sealed plastic covering for the first
time since buying it in June at the lace day and imagine my horror to
find it didn't have glass to cover my lace.
