Preparation for acrylic solvent glue-downs
• Peel away protective paper so that the solvent does not
seep onto the face of acrylic.
• Be sure that work surface is clean and level.
• Wipe glue surfaces free of dust with tack-free cloth.
• Place pieces together to determine where you want
to place them so that you will not smear solvent later. |
