Premier Range Rapid Grab Glass Splashback Adhesive

Product Information

When cutting long straight lines with a jigsaw, it is a good idea to clamp a piece of batten along the line that you are cutting so that the base-plate of the jigsaw can follow it, ensuring that the cut is traight. You can use various saws to cut through acrylic, including a jigsaw, circular, or table saw. Whichever saw you choose, ensure you use a blade suitable for acrylic, which ideally is a fine and closely spaced tooth blade. According to Cut Plastic Sheeting, wide space teeth will cause the acrylic to chip. Hold a long spirit level against the wall and move it around to find any dips. You’ll see these dips when there’s a gap between the spirit level and the wall. Fill in any dips with a pre-mixed plaster skim and leave it to dry before sanding flat. Once you’ve drilled four holes, slot a jigsaw into one hole at a time and cut along the straight lines to remove the rest of the rectangular outline. 9. Smooth Cut Edges You’ll also want to clamp a wooden batten onto the acrylic so that when you run your saw against it, it will cut directly along the line. The batten will ensure the cut is perfectly straight, and there’s no chance of “going off” at an angle with your saw. 6. Cutting the Acrylic

Before installation, ensure that your walls are clean and dust-free - and you have filled any holes - the flatter the surface, the easier you will find the installation. Warm, soapy water is perfect for cleaning both your wall and the plastic itself. Polishing soltuion can be used to deal with very shallow scratches while wet and dry paper can be used to deal with more severe damage. With all of the above in mind, find a nice clear, flat area that you can cut your acrylic in. As stated, make sure that you take your time, measure twice and cut once, don’t let the acrylic overhead when cutting and reduce any and all vibrations as much as possible. If you find that there are extreme dips over large sections of the surface (more than 6mm in depth) it is propably worth considering getting the entire surface re-plastered ( more information can be found in our plastering projects section). Clean and Seal the Wall Thoroughly clean the wall with a cloth and sugar soap first to remove any grease and dirt. If the surface is dusty or dirty, the adhesive may not set properly, and you’ll have to redo the entire process.Apply the adhesive to the rear of the glass in dollops. Each dollop will need to be roughly 20 – 30mm in size and they will need to be spaced about 80mm apart. Also ensure that the dollops around the edge of the glass are set in about 40mm as when it is pushed against the wall these will spread out and you don’t want them spilling out from around the edges.

Inaccurate cuts can require adjustments and "fine tuning" which can lead to un-true lines and the increased risk of damage

Repairing Scratches in Acrylic

Now the wall is clear you will need to wipe it down with a suitable cleaner such as Sugar Soap as this will remove any remaining dust and grease.

The toughened glass is tempered at 700 degrees centigrade to ensure it is strengthened to the very highest level – this process also means it will shatter if dropped rather than break into pieces - tough and safe.The use of coloured glass is a great way to improve the style of your kitchen and can create a real feature. When using wet and dry paper, this will need to be done in several stages using several different grades of paper: If you follow your cutting plan (presuming that it is correct) then the end result should be a perfect piece of acrylic, ready to fit! Depending on the condition this may take a while but it is worth it as it will be reflected in the finished job
