Tools you need: Sawblade, green Box tape, Acrylic sheet, Capillary activator, adhesive Acrifix 1S 0117.
V-Grooves have been cut into acrylic sheet with the sawblade.
Discard protection foil...
.. from both sides.
Look at the V-grooves. They can be cut down to 0.3 mm (i.e. 0.012" approx.).
Tape all four grooves from the backside. Opening of grooves showing down.
Cut to shape with scalpel knife.
Press down tape onto acrylic sheet.
Apply capillary activator into V-grooves (openings show upside).
Wipe dry with paper towel.
Break up the V-grooves (openings upside). The green tape on the backside keeps the parts together!
Break out the 4 edges. Leave the green tape on the backside!
Now, cut ONE SIDE of the tape with scalpel knife.
Turn 90°, cut again the same side of the tape.
Bend up the sides of the box, close them firmly with the green tape you have cut in.
Our tapes have a stretch-effect for pressure application. It will close the edges firmly together!
Fill in Acrifix® 1S 0117 into the edges. Our capillary activator lets the adhesive flow into the gaps!
Neither the capillary activator nor the tape keeps the adhesive from hardening.
Discard the green tape after the adhesive became hard.
Well done, Roland.
