is it safe to rivet a "sandwich together" where there are 3 layers, the two outside layers are metal (one steel, other aluminum) and acrylic in the middle.
I was thinking of the acrylic being 1/4"

I've done it before with a case window this way. only thing is don't over tighten the rivets or the plex will crack! (also know that from experiance!)

btw, is acrylic the same as plexiglass? I thought they were different ...
Now, I need to get into Paul's mood room and "borrow" some tools ^^ (he said that he has his shotgun ready for me :()

plexiglass is just a brand of acrylic.
