Marquee retainer options

Bathroom mirror mounting strips.  $4.88 for 4 feet.  Cut and painted with Rustoleum hammered black.  I needed to have the entire monitor mount removable in one shot, so I had to mount the glass to the bezel...



I'll be using 3/16" Solar Gray plexi from Tap Plastics so that I can drill through it (I'm installing my admin panel in the bezel/glass).

The angle on the cab I just built was as aggressive as yours and I was able to use aluminum by patience and tac/bend technique.  It all depends on how much time you want to spend.

Yeah, I cracked mine and turned into angry dad.  Then I read a thread on here describing these.  I ended up using the angle to mount the LCD on the back of the bezel...



It was a win-win. 

ha.

I'm working on a cab design that doesn't have 90 degrees on the marquee.  I really like the aluminum retains, so to get around those pesky obtuse angles, I'm planning to cut down some down on my table saw.



And here's a better view to help illustrate...


I was intimidated the first time I cut aluminum on my saw... but it's really pretty easy as long as you secure your work well.  :cheers:

NOTE: If you get larger angle, then you only have to make one cut for the angle... not two like I've shown.

I used a similar item but I had to order from a place online to get a bigger piece.  1/2" was not going to cut it, I got 1" or 1.25".  Plus I could get them in black.  These were vinyl corner guards which can be bent if you heat them, but they will shrink a bit when they cool so cut the length after bending if you do that!  :D
