The 80/20 flexes some in my experierence with machine guarding, so a very good silcon should be used, I have a personal prefernce to GE silcone II clear myself.

Yes, I planned on putting a drain the the base and the coolant will drain below the entire enclosure into a container of some sort.
The bottom panel slopes towards the front of the enclosure and the enclosure overhangs the workbench, so my plan was to put at least one drain up in the front of the bottom panel. Probably more all along the front edge.
It sounds like maybe I need more of a slope though?
