Matir Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Does anyone know of a good site with instructions/tips on working with plexi? I.e., cutting/drilling/bonding (I assume you can't just glue it at right angles, so what's the 'best' way to do something like that?) All thoughts welcome. Looking for some LED/plexi mod action.

SomeoneE1se Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 There's only 2 things i know about plexi glass 1) Drill VERY slowly ie > 30 secs per hole and 2) no counter sunk screws other then that you're on your own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macker Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 You can get a number of resins that work well and leave no mess when working with plexi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armadaender Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 A while back I built a plexy case for a friend and I found that simply glueing them edge to edge. ( ie: |_ ) with a plastic-orientated apoxy and then seal the inside with a clear caulk will provide the best structural support. I'm sure there are better ways but that worked well for me and my friend was very happy with the finished poduct. This article has some useful information even if you're not looking to build a plexy glass case. http://www.tux.org/~bball/pcmods/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
