Due to the acrylic properties of this material, these signs are not as easy to drill into as our

other signs. We will include an easy-to-follow instruction guide with the signs, we cannot be 

responsible for any damage incurred when drilling. Please see below:

How to prepare acrylic for drilling
 
Here are a few steps you need to take to ensure your acrylic is ready to be drilled. By following this advice, you are less likely to cause damage to or break your acrylic sheet during the drilling process. 

• Do not use a brand-new drill bit: It may sound slightly counterproductive, but you want to ensure your drill bit has been worn down slightly before use on plastic. You can do this by drilling a few holes into a scrap piece of wood or aluminium. Brand new drill bits are too sharp to cut plastic, and so the teeth may tear at and crack your acrylic. 

• Mark where you are going to drill: Do not try to drill acrylic freehand as your holes are unlikely to line up correctly. If you plan to drill holes along the edge of acrylic, the distance between the edge of your sheet and the edge of your boreholes must be at least double the thickness of your plastic. For example, if your acrylic is 5mm thick, you should drill holes at least 10mm from the edge - this helps ensure your plastic retains its structural integrity. 

• Apply masking tape: Once you have decided where to drill on the acrylic, you should mark the area with masking tape, so you do not drill directly onto the plastic. By applying masking tape, you create an extra layer of resistance that will help prevent the drill bit and teeth from tearing at your material. 

 
How to drill acrylic 
 
Once the acrylic has been prepared for drilling and is appropriately marked, the drilling process itself is extremely easy. 
 

1.   Begin by securing your acrylic on a flat surface. Use clamps or weights to keep it in place and prevent the material from warping or spinning during the drilling process. 

2.   Set your drill to a medium speed and hold it perpendicular to the plastic. Lightly press the drill into the material and let it sink through - do not try to force the drill through the plastic too quickly. 

3.   Make sure all your holes have been drilled through completely, and are lined up correctly with the corresponding marks on your wall/another surface. You can easily clean the surface of the plastic and remove any dust or small scratches with warm soapy water and a microfiber cloth.
