Knowing that wood will expand and contract I think the acrylic should be glued to the wood. The fit is fairly tight so I would just glue the bottom edge where the acrylic bottoms out in the groove. Would a two part epoxy be the best glue for this application? Thanks in advance for your response. <hr /><a name="a6637_2"></a><p><b>From: Mike (MIKEN)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6637.2">#2</a>]<br /> 13 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: PenMan</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6637.1">#1</a>] 14 Apr 2007</p> <p>1. paint the bottom edge of the plaques black</p> <p>2. use trophy tape on the bottom and set it into place</p> <p>3. the expansion/contraction of the wood will be so minute you won't notice it</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 13 Apr 2007 by MIKEN</p> <hr /><a name="a6637_3"></a><p><b>From: PenMan</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6637.3">#3</a>]<br /> 14 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Mike (MIKEN)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6637.2">#2</a>] 14 Apr 2007</p> Thanks Mike.

Innotec has it by the case in many widths if you need a lot.<br /> Tesa 4970.<br /> <br /> To fill gaps in grooves I sometimes use more than one layer.<br /> <br /> Johnson Plastics code is the 4970xx series<br /> Innotec just uses Tesa 4970 <hr /><h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
