    I'm going to consturct a box out of plexi and angle aluminum, and i was wondering what the best product would be to attach the plexi to the aluminum, without being completely ugly. My planning stages are almost complete, and I'm going to start a project log soon. Thanks

    double sided tape, rivits, bolts and screws (socket head my favorite). Adhesives will not work most of the time, not strong enough for this application.

    Good Luck... tries tape with divergence, did not work so I went with color matched rivits and it came out nice... :D

    this seems pretty stright foward try it if it dont work try something else, theres no phiscal reason not to use any device to secure it.

    any problems with the plexi cracking?.........with rivits? nope as long as you use a long enough rivit, although i would advise against screws as you need to tap the hole

    L-shaped plexi/metal brackets with screws and nuts would be my choice.
