Question for shermanfreak...
Posted by Jeeves on Monday, August 4, 2003 10:46 PM
In regards to your "Sherman Under Glass" project- did you glue down the glass cover on your case or leave it unglued??

The reason I am asking is I am just about finished with my GMC diorama and have an acrylic cover for my wood base....I've decided I should glue the top down on it as an added protection from pieces falling off...and as a hopeful deterrent for the silverfish. What would I use to attach the acrylic to the wood-- glue? caulk?.... thanks in advance.

Hey Jeeves

Yes indeed I glues that baby down .... on top of some of the reasons that you listed, it adds protection from peoples fingers.

I used Elmer's 2 part Epoxy too glue the lid down. Works great. Just apply it and let it dry for 24 hours.

I would thing it's available at just about any hardware store or even your friendly neighbourhood Wally-World.

It comes in two small tubes in the same package, the resin and the hardener. Just mix equal parts of the 2 tubes together and spread it on the part you want to glue.
