Beautiful!

That is some outstanding work. Kudos to you for such clarity.



Yes, polishing has become an obsession...

P.S. I am uploading some pics of my projects now, and will add them in a few minutes.

Excellent Q&A!
Understanding acrylic properties as you have so gloriously detailed may in fact help me "fine tune" my Spider case design. It's easy to come up with design ideas, but to properly implicate them without understanding the properties of the medium it's being constructed from can hinder the project before it even begins.

Hi, theartist.

I am am gratified that you believe that this thread will be of assistance to you.

Yes, there is the issue of over-all strength in the components made from acrylic... an issue that I discovered when building Gemini.

P.S. Making headway on your request.

Heyah, k1t

Yes, there will be a bonding section that covers both the #16 bonding agent, and #3 capillary bonding agent.

I will include a short video and provide some images as well.

I purchased it from Tap Plastics. I am quite fortunate as there is a retail store 5 minutes from my house, but they have a full online store as well.

If you are in a larg(ish) town or metropolitan area, you should be able to locate a plastic shop. The nice thing about shopping in person is that there is often-times a "srap bin" that has deeply discounted panels.
