Acrylic Glass Guide

Cleaning:

To clean your acrylic glass you can use a cleaner specifically designed for plastics available at your local hardware store or you could use Windex. For trouble spots you can use rubbing alcohol applied via a cotton swab.


Having trouble removing the acrylic top from the case?

A video explaining how to remove and reinstall your acrylic top is located here.


Sanding a Tight Fit:

If after adding your art you feel your acrylic it too tight case you can sand the edges of your acrylic with a 220 grit sandpaper. Set the acrylic glass panel on a flat surface and let the edge you want to sand protrude over that surface by about ½ inch. Wrap the sand paper around a wooden block. Holding the panel down with one hand, rub the flat edge of your sanding block back and forth along the acrylic edge you want to reduce. Try this for about 10-15 passes, clean off the acrylic and test the fit.


Feeling adventurous, want to try something different? Why not paint the inside of your acrylic top or bottom panel?

If you choose to paint the acrylic, we recommend you leave the protective layer on the outside while you paint the interior surface. There are spray paints formulated specifically for plastics but we have found that standard spray paints work just fine.We highly recommend you remove the acrylic and paint it separate from your case. You could try incorporating a design into the paint on the acrylic using masking tape or a stencil, just remember to reverse the image/stencil because you are painting the inside and the image will be reversed when viewed from the outside of your case.
