2. Next use the 220-grit sandpaper to sand the edges of the acrylic again.
3. Peel off the plastic vinyl that is used to protect the surface of the acrylic.
4. Ignite the TS8000 and apply heat to the sanded edges of the acrylic.
5. Once the edges have been sanded and heated, apply super glue to the edges and bond the two pieces of the acrylic.
