Friction fit is great but If you ever do need to glue pieces of acrylic together try using acetone. I used to make acrylic items for hospitals and we'd use acetone as glue. It literally fuses the pieces together with no glue line. Use a hypodermic needle to apply the acetone. Awesome video!

great video and I've picked up some really good tips from you but now I've got one for you that you might like. A small jewelers hammer would be perfect for this It has two rubber sides, a clear rubber side and a black rubber side. One side being harder material than the other. It actually would be perfect for this and it is what I use because I figure if it's gentle enough to use on gold then it's probably idea for acrylic. Thanks again for the videos.....great work on the kerf.

Great video - Thank you. I know 2 large car clubs that restore classic-vehicles to new and custom condition. This would be a great "custom" plate they could install on front of their vehicles when showing. Unfortunately in Oregon you "MUST" have DMV licence plates front and rear when driving on roadways. Oregon State Police like pulling over "some" folks with only rear plates and enforcing this code violation. I might try also, modifying a frame only. - Great Job Rich

Putting a wood block over the material and hitting the block will apply more even pressure and have less chance to break a piece. Or use a rubber mallet

Very informative, as always. A soft piece of wood would have helped push the letters into place. The measuring icon would have been helpful setting up the plate. It doesn't seem to work very well for me (or I don't know how to use it). You could do a video on how to use this option. OBTW I purchased a Roly 10 wat and Lightburn based on your suggestion. Both are great and loving using them. Thanks!

Where do you get your acrylic? Also, I would think that after you have snapped the pieces in place, you could use some wide packing tape and cover the letters. That way, when you peel off the black layer, the yellow layer will come with it!
