Usage of adhesive tape for laser cutting
Step 5: Colored layers
Send the colored layers job consisting of TroGlass Frosted and TroGlass Color Gloss to the laser using the driver settings below.
Before cutting the TroGlass Color Gloss and TroGlass Frosted sheet apply adhesive to the back, keeping a minimum of 4cm clear to the top of the sheet - this space is needed for the levitating part and the triangles.

Assemble the multi layer sign
Step 7: Assembly
Start by sticking the stripe pattern on the white base plate. To place it yourself, look for the hole to align it.
Next, make sure the TroGlass Frosted plate is glued exactly on the black ADA.
Following that, comes the TroGlass Color Gloss plate. It is best to position them with the letters at the bottom and to make sure that the area without adhesive foil is exactly positioned. Then the black and green or orange letters are pasted on.
Repeat these steps for the back of the shield. Then, the triangles are inserted into the holes provided.
Finally, a string is feathered through the holes and the multi-layer shield is finished.
