Remove the protective foil from the top of both the 5mm and 8mm acrylic prior to laser cutting and engraving
Cover the rest of the working area with a suitable material (such as paper) to improve extraction

Information:
In this example we used the quality parameters from JobControl®
When assembling your display begin by gluing the coloured TroGlass Satin components to the 5mm clear acrylic, ensuring that the pieces are positioned exactly above each other.
The next step is to position the engraved 8 mm acrylic. To protect your laser engraved design position the engraved side onto the coloured acrylic.
