I have an arcade control panel that has art that's bonded to the plexiglass and now it's gouged from improper storage. Anyone ever filled gouged plexiglass with an epoxy of some sort? I'm thinking windshield repair epoxy and then just cutting and buffing the whole panel. Any recommendations?

Depending on the thickness, plexi isn't expensive these days. Might be better to just replace it.

There is no replacing it. The art and plexi are one piece (Sega Lindbergh panel).

You can try one of those windshield crack repair kits. Try it on a hidden area first to check if it goes cloudy.

How about Novus plastic polish? I have used that with great results on an acrylic fish tank. It comes with 3 grades to take out all kinds of scratches.

The Novus kit worked much better for me than the kit to polish headlight lenses..
