Yeah, I'm pretty sure the crackling glue was the spray on adhesive. I know Elmer's Ultimate Glue was what was reccomended for the perfect panels, but I was just wondering if the liquid nails might wo ... |

It was suggested to me by my boyfriend's dad to use liquid nails to attach the sheet metal to the plywood. We bought Elmer's Ultimate Glue, but we haven't used it yet. He said you just brush some on ... |

Do all the acrylic types bend? I really don't like the idea of the acrylic panels bending and I don't think they would seeming as the distance is only about 1/16 of an inch.
It's good that they're ... |

Yeesh! I think our major cost was from the Stanley brackets. I know everyone's going without them now, but I really like the way they look. It's amazing that something actually does exist that you c ... |

I'm pretty sure the bigger the number, the bigger the screw head, but you could double check at the hardware store.
Oh, and someone asked about the foil tape earlier. I saw it at Home Depot next ... |

And the number is the size of the screw head. In DDRhomepad's (I think it was him, anyway) instructions, he said that the screws that come with the corner brackets are too short to be strong enough t ... |

So then the conclusion is that pads cannot have lights if they do not have 2x4's in em.
Mine will! But they won't have the same look as the arcade pads, so in that you are correct.

Since there seems to be a 3 hour delay before you can post, and i'm impatient, I'll just hijack my girlfriend's login for this post.
Using the xbox controllers may be easier than you all think. ... |

Think you could send me the link to where you're getting the USB pads that cheap? I'd be hard pressed to get the XBOX controllers that cheap, unless we go to the swap meet and just get USB game paddl ... |

yeah, I was actually thinking that the wooden squares were probably rubbing on other parts of the board, not the floor itself. Sorry I wasn't more clear.

I've heard baby powder works to cut down the squeaking on wood floors. You might try that on your pad. |
