There have been posts in the past about people using industrial strength velcro to hold up their plexiglass. I don't remember about tempered glass though. I have industrial strength velcro and I wouldn't have any concerns about using it. It locks in place very well. --- Quote from: Visitor Q on January 14, 2009, 02:04:01 pm ---What about velcro? --- End quote --- |

I mean of course I want a clean look but like I said, I am limited here as to how the cab is already built as to what I can and can not do with it. I guess I should have stated this in my first post. My Bad. I mean I don't plan on ever taking the monitor out of this thing unless I have to move the cab which will more than likely be a road I have to travel looking ahead. The monitor has to come out through the front of the cab.. |

What about velcro? --- End quote --- i made a vivarium for a lizard, with four panels of tempered glass held on with velcro. i got some sandpaper of sorts to rough up the glass , a two part epoxy suitable for all surfaces, smeared on and laid on an 'edge/surround' of velcro. worked like a charm and solid as a rock. i would say if you can see the velcro through the glass its a bit ugly but easily covered with a sticker bezel on the front :cheers: |
