A Step-by-Step Guide to Assembling Three Acrylic Pieces at a Right Angle If you're working with three 3mm wide acrylic sheets, this tutorial will walk you through the process of assembling them at a right angle. Here's how: Begin by selecting a suitable work surface. For best results, opt for a sturdy table or countertop that won't waver or shift while you're gluing your pieces together. Gather all necessary materials and tools beforehand to save time later on. This may include a high-quality acrylic adhesive, clamps, rulers, and a straightedge or square. Before applying any glue, align your three acrylic sheets at the desired 90-degree angle using your rulers or straightedge. This ensures accuracy and minimizes the need for adjustments further down the line. Once aligned, apply a thin, even layer of acrylic adhesive to one surface of each sheet, taking care not to get it too close to the edges where air bubbles can form more easily. Press the first sheet firmly onto the second, ensuring complete contact before applying clamps. Hold steady for several minutes until the glue sets. Remove any excess glue with a clean cloth and inspect your work to ensure it's properly aligned. If necessary, make any necessary adjustments before moving on to the next step. Next, place the third sheet onto the stack of two previous sheets, using the same careful alignment and gluing process as before. After each application of adhesive and stacking, reapply pressure with clamps for a few minutes until everything is securely bonded together. Continue this process, building your acrylic structure piece by piece, following the same steps until all three pieces are securely attached at the 90-degree angle.
