I am trying to mold my linitx screen bezel into an ABS dash insert with little to no gaps and no contours. It is just the flat screen being molded into a square cutout on a flat dash insert. You reccomended just using epoxy, which sounds like the smartest thing for me to do for this application.

What type of epoxy do you reccomend and where can I get it? Online is prefered. Also, if I am not sure that it is ABS, what kind of adhesion promoter is best? and will that require a different epoxy?

Thanks

he specifically said to only use bondo as a filler. Without some structural rigidity, the bondo will simply crack over time.

The Lilliput has a full function remote, so the switch board was relocated behind the screen.

What do you mean behind the screen? I'm doing my dash now, and I really don't have enough room for that board.

Thanks, thought that's what he meant, but I coudn't see the IR sensor in the pics.


BTW, I'm not that familiar with american standards and if an inch has 2.54 cm, how many cm do 3/16" mean? Or better yet, how do you actually read the "/"?


Altimat, how far back is the screen?

The "/" is read as the division symbol. Therefore 3/16 = 0.1875. You would either state this as 0.1875 inches or three-sixteenths of an inch.

To get the measurement in cm use the conversion factor: 2.54cm = 1in. Take the inch measurement (decimal format) and multiply it by 2.54. In this case: .1875 x 2.54 = 0.47625cm.

Google also has a built-in calculator for this kind of stuff. Just type it in the proper format (0.1875in to cm) and it will give you the conversion.
