[sdiy] Plexiglass panels

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.
