If I run a strip of velcro along the rabbeted lip that the control panel sits on as well as on the underside of the front of the control panel I think it will work. How thick do you think the velcro would be once everything is put together? I have 3/8" to play with but I would only want to push things up by 1/8" max. The lip that is created from the overlapping pieces is to hold the glass and bezel in place. |

Heavy duty velcro would do that job very well. Don't get the type with fabric looking loops... get the heavy stuff that looks more like a rough brush with heavy loops. Any hardware store should have it. Good Velcro is strong enough that the failure point often becomes the adhesive used to attach it rather than the Velcro itself. It comes in all thicknesses and strengths so just shop around until you find what you need. |

Velcro is amazing! I use the commercial stuff at work. About 1.5" wide, adhesive backed. Very strong. If you use too much of it, you will find it hard to remove. |

Radio Shack sells the heavy duty stuff in small strips, that stuff is strong; I have used it with other projects... |
