why noy put the CPO under the plexi, so the pelxi would protect it, and hold it down?

I wanted to be able to get access to joysticks that are surface mounted under the plexi. Also, a lot nicer feel than the plexi.

He's already placed it on the plexi, that's why.

You could try ironing it, I suppose. No steam, with a piece of newspaper over it, medium heat, then place your weight over it again. beyond that, maybe you could get another piece of plexi and put it down on top of your artwork.

If it were me, I'd simply start over.

I'll give it a try. Starting it over means paying for the new CPO, taking all controls out, re-doing the plexi and the T-Molding. :(

I used some wall paper seam sealer on some artwork that was coming up off of laminate.  Might work for plexi, but can't be sure.  Worked well on the laminate.  Available at home improvement stores for a couple of bucks.
