[QUOTE="Steve Maksim, post: 74197, member: 1973"] Re: Mute Group Mechanical Protection Two ideas come to mind: --Rubber cement. --Clear silicone caulk. I don't think that the edge is too small at all. Carefully mask the top of the plate and leave a tab so that you can easily pick up the masking tape. Carefully mask around the plate, leaving a gap (I'd say equal to the height of the Lexan in this case), and, again, leave a tab so that you can get it up easily. Caulk it and immediately wipe it with a finger to smooth and spread, making sure that it get in close enough that you don't get a ridge when you pull the tape off the board. (A lot of people use a cloth over their finger that's soaked in alcohol when working with silicone. You can look these sorts of techniques up online.) Pull off the tape immediately (which will be difficult since you'll need to avoid moving the Lexan). Please keep us posted on your success. The shield is a shroud is a great idea and I'm curious how it works out. [/QUOTE]
