    whats the best glue to use when gluing plexi glass to wood? because im guessing that wood glue wont be any good for it. its gunna go like this:

    wood ================
    plexi ---------------------
    wood ================

    if i have to i'll probably also put through wooden pegs for strength, even though it'll probably make dark spots where the light shines through the plexi :( So anyone got any glue reccomendations/ gluing methods?

    Epoxy will glue almost anything, worth a try.

    ok so epoxy it is then, what about putting pegs through it? do you think they'll be necessary? will the epoxy be pretty strong?

    epoxy is very strong, how much force do you need it to stand?

    im guessing it'll be strong enough, im making a case, and i just dont want it to fall apart when I go to pick it up.

    VERY cool table there btw

    the pegs are not nessisary the epoxy will make it more than storng enough for even the most harsh conditions after it is all glued and dried i would run the peice around a router and just shave of like 1/32 to get a perfect fit

    I used contact glue for that table up there. If you are gluing surfaces, go with contact glue.
