I checked the FAQ and didn't see anything pop out immediatly so I'm asking. Nearly everyone who puts LEDs on a case window to allow an etched design I've seen use foil on the edges to help reflect the light back instead of allowing it to leak out.

My question is what type of glue works best? I'm going to be foiling the edges of some plexi as well as one side to create a reflector of sorts and I was just curious what glue the rest of you found works best.
 
If you hit a hobby/craft store (Hobby-Lobby, Michael's), and look for goldleafing supplies, you will find some good spray adhesive that works pretty well for attaching metal foils of various types to just about anything. They also have brush-on type, which may work better for you, since it is more controllable.
 
the most notable mod that used the features you're referring to (plexy with foil reflector) is Macroman's Macro Black - take a look, it's an awesome mod, and an excellent read. i'm sure you'll find some inspirations there. :)
