I've got an MDF box that I'm attaching a plexi window to, but I'm not sure on the best way to seal it. I routed a small channel along the edge of the box, and my idea was to just use some strip caulk along here and screw the plexi down. I think it'll work but I'm looking for opinions. Thanks.

That's really a nice box, props on an excellent job. My only concern is sealing the enclosure. It appears as though you just screwed the plexi directly to the wood... I think that could be potential for a leak and that's why I'm curious to know how people have sealed the plexi window onto the box.

carefully placed clear silicone.
