Step 10Cut and install the plex
take a measurement from the interior of your pine frame. you'll want to cut two pieces of plex slightly smaller than this size. if you're making multiple light boxes, make sure to label your frames and plex pieces, because they're all going to be slightly different and it will really piss you off when you go to put them in and they don't fit.
peel the paper off of one of the sides of one of the pieces of the plex.
put a bead of construction adhesive inside the frame and press the exposed plex into the interior frame. put some weight on it of need be. make sure it sits tight against the front.
