Ouch, that hurts

just shows that you have to be sure you go in straight

When I did something similar, I did not use self-tapping screws; I drilled out the holes by hand then tapped them out for use with hex cap screws

You might want to try gluing/welding instead like I posted a few pages back if you're interested. You can find the glue here.
Drilling into the side like that is very hard.

for his application, solvent weld on it's own would not be strong enough; but it could certainly be used to reinforce the mechanical fastenings

well i am never going to go to Lowes again it took me 4 people to figure out where it was in the store, and they didnt have the right thickness either same with Home depot but i only had to ask one person there.

Well that was a pilot hole i was drilling but going in from the side is really hard to see if your going straight.

But i thought about the glue but i couldnt find it locally and idk how it will look.

So im going to have to order some acrylic online, then im thinking of using smaller screws so i dont have to go in as deep.

But atleast i live and learn right

Edit:

Ouch, i just looked online for 3/8" 2' X 2'. Is $58. Hmmmm im going to have to think about this long and hard..... Unless anyone has some spare acrylic sitting around i could pay for?

you said earlier that you were using 3/4" acrylic, but now you're looking into buying 3/8" stock

I've done this no sweat with 3/4" acrylic, but I can see it getting trickier with 1/2" or 3/8"

sorry forgot to mention that i changed the thickness. i got my hands on some free 3/8" so i figured that width would suffice
