Also, i build custom fish tanks and have some experience with PETG /Plexi/ Acrylic, etc.. and adhereing said materials to wood can sometimes be tricky.

1 was i would suggest, if to drill pilot holes into the plexi and wood, and use flush mounting screws to anchor it down, and with the application of a high density silicone in between wood and plexi.

2 silicone plexi down, and build thin wood housing around plexi to sorta sheath and mount...almost like a tongue/groove joint.

Look twice, think thrice, 1 splice/ 1 slice!

This is a phrase i came up with and something i will now live by.

the box looks really nice good job on it.

just something for you to think about for your next plex project. i usualy attach the plex to a flat surface instead of flushing it in by notching into the box, then make a trim plate(beauty board) around the box to cover screws and showcase the finished product. usually use some type of foamy material(some times carpet works well) to seal the plex in, since using silicone will not allow for removal and repair work if it's ever needed. if you do deciede to go with silicone make sure you apply the silicone to the box then allow it to dry completly(24 hours+) before you attach the plex to it. good luck on your project

life is a comedy to think, a tragedy to feel
