Thanks guys,

Jason, the seam work i still need practice on, still too many bubbles for my liking....but i used the pin method on this one, it seemed to work well.

The joint is filled with glue when its actually lifted about a 32`nd of the panel its being glued to, then pins are removed after the glue has tacked up a few seconds.

Tony, theres two methods that i use to polish, first i always joint or route all finished edges before they are installed.

Depending on the piece and the type of acrylic, i may use the novus 3 step polishing compounds and a buffer wheel on my bench grinder...or i may flame the edges, using a propane torch.
when flaming you have to be careful, because you cannot glue too near that area afterwards, the acrylic will craze.

Marc.
