Oh ok, thanks.
 Still, how do I use wax or soap during cutting? And CattleRustler, do you mean MAPP gas? Nothing shows up when I google MAP gas.

yeah it might be MAPP, I think part of the name is because its a mix of Acetylene and Propane iirc. Supossedly it burns hotter than the other individual gases or something and it has a special tip to swirl the gas to a sharp point for soldering and brazing. Check/search plumbing supply torches
edit search bernzomatic

MAPP gas is liquefied petroleum gas mixed with methylacetylene-propadiene (not the same as acetylene); it burs hotter than propane but not as hot as acetylene.

So is it MAPP or Bernzomatic?
Anyways, what did CD mean when he said to use wax and soap when cutting?

Using wax, soap, etc when cutting helps to keep the acrylic from melting as much when cutting, keeps the cutting tool cooler, and can result in a cleaner cut/hole.

you probably apply the soap to the blade before you cut, much like waxing snow sled skis (im guessing)

How would that help?
 So you're basically saying that I should put wax and soap on the drill before I cut?

using soap/wax for cutting acrylic is much like using a cutting oil when machining steel; it helps reduce the temps and acts as a lubricant to produce a better cut.
