you did not think I was crazy! Whew.....

Well, you have to do a little experimentation. Silicon becomes more viscous as it sets up and if you use a spacer when you place the protector on the face, it seems to work just fine.

The space is somewhat critical. If you make it too small, water will not drain due to surface tension. I have found that about 1/32" to 1/16" space is good.

Also, I do not know what kind of plastic is on the face of the NiTek. So do a little test on a corner with a dab or Silicon to make certain it will not hurt the face. It should not, but, as I indicated, I have not worked with a NiTek.

Finally, the issue of "catching": the Matrix and Oceanic computers sit in a consol and the lip of the consol is about even with the protector. Hence, it cannot "catch" or "snag". I thought, though, that there was a cover for one of the other NiTek computers and that you could "copy" it.

I experimented when I made mine...you might want to do the same...

Hope this helps...
