1/8 “Mirror Acrylic
We recommend removing the clear plastic on your mirror acrylic and masking both sides of the acrylic. Masking both sides of the acrylic will prevent the silver backing from getting damaged. When engraving we like to put the silver side up and mirror our design. You can use the proofgrade setting for Medium Clear Acrylic. If you notice you are still getting flashback, you can try raising the acrylic off your honeycomb bed with scraps/pins. You can use e6000, 3M double-sided adhesive sheets, but NEVER use Weldon on mirror acrylic it will melt it!
(Tip: If you plan on painting the engraved area on your acrylic, leave your masking tape on after engraving/scoring. Then go over it with a paint pen, let it dry, then remove your masking tape!)
