How to cut fluorescent acrylic by hand
To cut fluorescent acrylic by hand, the best option is a fine tooth hacksaw. The edges may need polishing after to help the glossy finish return to the material and help the fluorescent colour shine.
How to bend fluorescent acrylic
To bend most types of acrylic, the process is done by heating the sheet which makes the heated area flexible and is then able to be bent into place. This can be done with a heat gun, line bending machine or any heat source within your workshop.
How to polish fluorescent acrylic
To polish most types of acrylic, fine grit sandpapers are the best option alternating between wet and dry to help them look like new. Using a piece of damp, 800 grit sandpaper in a buffing motion gently sand the surface before repeating with a dry piece of the same sandpaper. Keep alternating between the wet and dry pieces, rubbing for two to three minutes at a time. If it begins to look frosty this is just part of the process and these will disappear during the sanding. Move onto the grade 1200 paper and continue with the circular buffing motions, before drying to area fully with a soft, dry cotton cloth.
