Fixing Plexi/Lexan In bartop

[Darren01274]

Hi can anybody suggest a good way to fix either Plexi or Lexan in a bartop.

yes






I bet you should a little more precise.
for what purpose and where do you want to fix your plexi//lexan ?? cpo, marquee, bezel anywhere else ?

yah, thats a little vague. I would say "measure" and then follow that up with another post that says "cut", but I'll skip that.

I am doing this step right now too with my monitor plexi, and I just measured (see, I used the advice I had), then I cut (again!) the plexi. The width was spot on, but the height was more than needed so I can test fit it and make sure it covered everything top to bottom. Measure again after you figure out the mounting and viola, you know your dimensions!

After the final cut, I'll mount it and enjoy... but put the monitor in FIRST! doh...

Hi sorry forgot to mention for Monitor! I noticed some routed down the sides of theres and slid it in is there any other way to mount the plastic

bad idea, in order to put or remove the bezel, you wil have to dismantle te cab, in order to slide the bezel 

regarding your problem it depends on some other facts we ignore
do you want the plexi to be easily removabe or not ?

1) admit your plexi can be slided behind your panel.

cut the plexi the size you need in width (between both internal side), measure the height you need.

cut the exact width (or .5 or 1 mm smaller)
cut the height + some spare

if you can or want, groove the part wher the bezel is placed on top of the screen, this way tou can slide the bezel inside the groove
drill 2 holes on the bottom corners of the cab, use some spare wood in order to fix the plexi.

2) admit your plexi can't be slided behind the panel.
same as above.
groove the lower marquee box piece of wood, groove the panel, this way you will be able to slide it up the down in order to fix it.
