fixing lexan to cp - additional fasteners?

(1/2) > >>

ras2a:
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.
