Unless you have welding equipment, I'm not sure I'd reccomend attaching from beneath, since a good smack to the button could cause it to fall into the CP. If you know someone with the right tools, you might be able to make it work. However, if you're just going to use glue or epoxy to hold the washer in place from beneath, it could potentially fall apart in the long run. Basically, if you have a more thorough solution like welding, that'd be the way to go. However, given that it's a CP for a quiz game, it probably won't face the same kind of abuse as say, MVC2. Perhaps a strong epoxy and some bondo would be enough to get the job done, so I wouldn't write it off completely. In all likeliness, you won't see it fall into the CP in your lifetime, and probably not your children's lifetime either. |

Bondo sounds good, but if I was going to go to all that effort I'd just buy a new aluminum panel or enclosure and start over. I did try the plexi overlay... almost predictably, on one of the last holes the plexi shattered. So I cut circles out of the black plastic of a DVD case and used those as washers; they lay fairly flat. Looks like hell, but it works, and I can always rebuild the panel later if it ends up bothering me. Hmm.. wonder if I cut out the centers of old unused CD's.. might make for an interesting flat washer, although they'd probably shatter when I cut them. Anyway, I finished wiring it last night and in a huge change of luck it actually worked perfectly the first time. I'll get pics when I get home. |

THere's a documented technique on the projects forum for drilling plastic, etc. As for the CD inset idea, people here have used them as dust washers. |

Here's how it ended up coming out: |
