  • 1.  cracks in plexi

    I've learned a lot about plexi thanks to your query, too, Todd.
    Here's a bit more:

    contains this tip:
    Never rub PLEXIGLAS® completely dry. This results in the brand acrylic glass becoming electrostatically charged, which in turn attracts dust. This may also result in scratches on the surface.
    This site also mentions that using Isopropyl alcohol is safe on its product, however the products listed are masks or other protective gear, not built objects.
    Washing plexi instructions- very similar to previous post
    Wet the plexiglass with a solution made from water and dish soap. 
    The soap should not have any additives. Mix 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of soap into 1 US-quart (950 ml) of water
