Buttons will hold it in place and T-Molding around the edge will help prevent edges from being lifted up.

The artwork AND the Lexan. After a while the Lexan can bow upwards.

In a home use, you could probably use ordinary nuts-and-bolts.

Hmm, that does sound problematic. Do you think from my attached CP that I need worry too much? Wouldn't the curved surface make it a bit tricky to pin it down the most effectively?
