I am using a 2 player streetfigher button layout with a 3 inch trackball in the center. the joystick box is 40 inches wide and 17 inches tall. I'd like to glue the plexiglass down because it is thin 1/16 thick and i dont want it to lift up. around the edges. does anyone know if i can glue it down with wood glue tightbond 2? i guess i'll head to tap plastic and pick up a scrap piece and try it on that. --- Quote from: somunny on February 21, 2008, 06:43:19 pm ---The plexi on this cp (built by me) is held down solely by the buttons. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=51773.0 --- End quote --- --- End quote --- In that case, I would go with contact cement.

i rely simply on the buttons to hold down the plexi on the control panels that I have built, and it works just fine. unless you get people who are intentionally trying to pull up on the plexi, you shouldn't need any adhesive at all. |
| TOK:
The buttons hold mine down. I also slightly offset the t-molding so that the top edge of it is flush with the overlay. This prevents anything from snagging a corner and lifting it up and also makes it look very finished. |

I originally tried to used 1/16" plexi on my control panel but it was not rigid enough. The edges were loose and would warp and move up and down if you pushed on them. I switched it out with 1/8" plexi and it works great. |
