How To Make Acrylic Enclosure Video (Measuring, Cutting, Gluing, Drilling) 

Much appreciated! 😁🙏

@@dnadesignn using small paint brush better?

what kinda glue?

No problem! Glad to be of help 😊

@Truth n Logic that's about right, yes if it's not flat, the chances of it detaching is higher. You should buy the acrylics already with the desired size so that you don't have to cut anymore, usually the shops use laser to cut the acrylic sheets.

Thank you! 😊

You are very welcome, sir!

Yup. It's not that easy. At least 15 scores or more to get it to snap...and that's the really thin acrylic.

Pleasure is mine! Hope all went well with your miniature house's acrylic covers!

@@dnadesignn It worked just like you showed it would. Now if only my gluing acrylic skill was better... :)

It's pretty cheap on Amazon

pleasure is mine! 😁

No you can't. Acrylic glue only bonds acrylic to acrylic

Thanks a lot! Those are acrylic hinges and I bought them from the same that sells the acrylic sheets.

that's 2 mm thick

500 grit is good, the smoother the surfaces the better for the glue to stick both surfaces.

If you use acrylic glue I'm afraid you can't remove the strain because it basically melts the acrylic's surface to put 2 pieces together. If you use other glue that causes strains, maybe try using kerosene 👍

@@dnadesignn i am using the exact glurle you are using, so I think it is acrylic. But, I will try kerosene anyway. Thanks😄😄

@@amaliasa11191 The only way you can remove stains is by sanding the acrylic with very fine grade sandpaper and then polish using a polishing cloth. Good luck!

No problem! I don't think it's possible, I usually use 2mm for 15cm to 20cm, any larger than that I prefer 3mm. Maybe you can use 0.8mm for very tiny enclosures like 4cm by 4cm.

@@dnadesignn Oh, got it! Thanks, that's very good to know. May I know what glue you use?

@@TLOH7 that's called acrylic glue

If you glued all the parts perfectly, then yes, it can hold water.

Its plastic cement. A clear liquid that "welds" the two pieces of acrylic together rather than gluing. The cement slightly melts the two pieces together and then evaporates. Just search for "plastic cement" or "acrylic cement".

cyanoacrylate 743

Unicorn piss

That's acrylic, not glass. I'm sure there"s a shop somewhere near you that sells acrylic. 🤔

Acrylic glue for acrylics, silicone for glass 👍

I think you need thicker acrylics for that 👍

I think that's called a nail drill, it's available at online shops, but you'll have to buy the drill bits seperately.

The glue is a special glue, it's an acrylic adhesive and is usually called acrylic glue, it fuses both surfaces and not glueing. The knife is called acrylic hook knife/cutter. I bought them online. Hope that helps 😁

You can use any utility knife to cut. No special knife/blade needed. CA glue can be used as well as model glue. The 'model glue' disolves the surface of the acrylic pieces and then that acrylic then hardens like an epoxy for the 'welding' of the pieces. CA glue (superglue) works slightly different but will attatch the 2 pieces just the same. CA glue can be cleaned up with acetone, and can be purchased with the precision tips that you would want to clean up after use or between uses with prolonged times between. CA glue has kinda harsh fumes but they are relatively harmless healthwise, and will give a chemical reaction with paper towels so you would want to be careful in that sense.

Yes it does!

@@dnadesignn Is it chloroform ? If not, can chloroform be used as adhesive to join acrylic sheets

17x17 inch

Sorry I don't sell the enclosure, I just show people how to make one 😊

I don't have experience on that so I'm afraid I can't answer your question, sorry. But you can use super glue, as far as I know.

Hey! Yeah, you can try DM-ing my Instagram account if you still need help and I will see you there! Sorry for the late reply.

At least 3mm 👍

@@dnadesignn Thanks!!

@@bboyven no problem!

I use acrylic glue that I bought near where I live and there's not much information on the bottle. You can also use solvent based glue like 'weld on 4' which is available on amazon.

@@dnadesignn Thank you so much! Cool vid btw

@@natanaga9892 My pleasure. Thankss!

@@dnadesignn can I use cyanoacrylate adhesive ?

@@dt_vegajoseemmanuel1734 is that superglue? I think you can use superglue, but I have never used that on acrylics. Maybe give it a try first on unused sheets 👍

Sorry for the late reply!! It's called "acrylic adhesive" or "acrylic glue"

A very useful reminder! 🤣

Sorry 😭, will turn it down for my future videos.

Got it! Thanks

Sure thing! Thanks for the suggestion :)

@@dnadesignn yessir

I will surely fix that for my future videos! I appreciate the advice.

Sorry 😂 will do next time!

​@@dnadesignn music was alright but how would you hold the angles at 90 with heavier plexi?

@@badmotherhumper I think you can use duct tapes
