I'm sure this has been covered but I can't find it using various phrases (attach/fix lexan/plexi to control panel/cp etc). So, besides your buttons etc holding your lexan/plexi to your control panel, is it wise to use additional methods to 'fix' it in place, e.g. carriage bolts or similar? I have quite big areas of 'space' around the edges of my cp and was just wondering whether the lexan may 'lift' if I didn't use something to fasten it down with?
cheers folks

What I see done at arcades is just drilling holes on the plexi and screwing it down to the cp. Someone else might have a better suggestion though.

Cool. Was looking for a more 'invisible' solution...but I reckon that's prolly the best thing to do unless anyone else uses other methods?

if your control panel + plexi is 13/16" you could use someting like this.

I'm not shur how well this goes around corners though.

ummmm... 20 mm is closer to 13/16
13/16" = 20.6375 mm

Wow superb...that sould be just the job as my CP art is pretty thick (gloss laminated paper 220gsm). I may order some of this if my regular 20mm T-Moulding doesn't do the trick.
cheers guys
