    About to start building

    Hello!

    I got overhead light switch panel prints, what would be the best way to fit them on each other precisely and stick them between two sheets of plexiglass?

    Also, should I sand the plexi behind mask for light to spread, and what thickness of it I need for back and front?

    Image of the prints:

    Thanks!

    should I sand the plexi behind mask for light to spread
    'Sand the plexi' could do, but better is to use a milk plexiglass. It spreads the light more evenly.
    I hope you succeed with your idea, but something tells me sooner or latter you'd end up with engraved panels.
    This print-and-glue-the-panel method rarely gives nice and fine results.

    How much do they cost? I've seen quite many succesfull panels made with plexi and prints.
