Workmanship for both Acrylic and Polycarbonate:

  • The surfaces of Acrylic come covered with a masking film on both surfaces for protection during transport, storage and fabrication. The masking film should be left in place during fabrication work and all marking-out drawn on the film.
  • It is recommended not to remove the marking film until necessary to prevent dust collection and accidental surface scoring or scratching. However, care should be taken not to have the surface scratched during handling.
  • Before pasting the vinyl graphics it is advised to wash the sheet surfaces to be decorated with clean, fresh water using a soft cloth. This has the advantage of removing all traces of static charge from the sheet after removal of the film which might otherwise attract dust.
  • For all general-purpose cleaning operations, acrylic should be washed simply with clean cold water to which a little detergent has been added. The use of any solvents such as methylated spirits, turpentine, white spirit or proprietary window cleaning products is neither necessary nor recommended.
  • Flatness of the sheets is very important for the signs to appear neat.
  • The cutting shall be done using a powered saw to a tolerance of +/- 1mm. The edges shall be cleaned of any bur and chamfered to make the acrylic comfortably sit inside the frame.
