Best method to stick touchpanel to LCD

[robolo]

I have an ELO that I took off the bezel to allow in wall mounting. Both the glass touchpanel and the LCD were secured with the bezel so now they are not attched to one another. I saw a post that recommended using double stick tape but does anybody have a better way to secure the two to each other? Epoxy maybe?

The ones I have seen, the touch screen is held in place with gaffers tape.

Hi robolo -
I have an ELO as well and it had double-sided tape when I removed the bezel. That worked well until this past weekend. All of a sudden the glass started slipping down. I ended up using my hot glue gun and running a bead along the top and bottom edges and then at each place there was tape. That seems to have worked really well. One note of caution though, if the glue isn't hot enough you get those long strands of glue that hang down from the gun. Unfortunately that happened to me and some of it ended up on the inside of the glass. It's a tiny amount and nobody but me will ever notice but I'll certainly notice everytime I look at it. Make sure to keep the inside of the glass protected. Once the glue dries it seems to really create a good bond and it isn't likely that I'll be able to pull the glass panel off (I hope I never need to).
