I would like to use plexiglass as my project enclosure (so everybody
can see my messy design!)
My questions:
What to use for gluing. Superglue leaves nasty residue film on
everyting and if not accessible it looks crappy.
(So what if they use it to get fingerprints.)
It needs to be strong, fast drying and absolutely invisible.
How do you polish plexiglass? ( The cut edges need to be polished)
I recall using toothpaste, but there must be something made specificly
for plexi.
Thanks for reading.

Maybe this will help. My brother and I used to make telescope mirrors
from metal, glass and plastic. And we used many different kinds of
polishing compounds, from very rough to extremely fine, like rouge.
Then we would keep "candling" the mirror until it was perfect. Made
some great Newtonian 8-inch scopes that way. Never had to nerve to make
a Argunov--Cassegrain telescope. Just the thought of grinding a hole
through the center of a newly made mirror creeped us out.
