I also tried plexiglass panels for my first version of the ultimate
monosynth some eleven years ago now. Apart from the problem of having to
make recesses for the toggle switches so that their bushes would fit
through the panel, the other problem was from flux splashes as I soldered
the various pot and switch lugs.
I guess with the newer no clean stuff it would be better, but I still
think you would need to clean off any flux splashes and condensates with
IPA or something.
The other problem is what to do with the corners. Butting up the corners
of two pieces to form right angles ends up looking very ugly. Even the
Gleeman looks decidedly amateur in that respect.
