Hi guys, just curious. I bought an Antec Super Lanboy and I picked up a few lights for it.

Can anyone offer tips for moutning some EL wire around the window? Im not sure how to get it on there and have it stay put without any obtrusive mounts or anything ugly like that.

Will post pics when im donel, thanks for any help!
 
low temp hot melt glue, clear epoxy or silicone.

Do NOT use superglue any where near the plexi it will haze the plexi over time/
 
I have found a glue that works. Jet Quick. It bonds fast enough that it don't affect the Plexi beyond bonding what ever you want to it. And if it gets on the plexy you can't see it after it drys. Be careful with the glow wire as the casing is very thin to my suprize and 3 strands later.

Two sided scotch tape works too. Just get the ultra-clear stuff. Looks good and it's non-permament. Where the jetquick will be un-removable and has a tendisy to slighly melt where it attachs so you know where it was. Looks good in place, looks bad if removed.

Be careful with Jet Quick as it will bond ANYTHING. in about 1 - 5 seconds. Just use very little amounts. Mid-temp hot glue works good too if you have the gun, but I find that it leaves a very un-profesanol look to the finished product.
