Our mirror acrylic sheets are extruded acrylic sheets that have a glossy mirror finish on one side with a durable gray back side. They are plastic masked on the front. We recommend engraving mirror side down with the gray backing up. Mirror Acrylic Sheets can be the hardest to cut, so we highly recommend testing a few options to find the best fit for you- remasking with paper masking, using dish soap as a mask, placing a damp paper towel between the honeycomb tray and acrylic, or raising the acrylic off the bed. We recommend starting with cutting on PG Medium Red on your Glowforge.

If you're looking to add a double sided adhesive backing, you can find it here. Keep in mind you'll need to leave a note on which acrylic sheets you want it added to, and purchase a quantity equal to the number of sheets you need.
If you want us to add paper masking to your acrylic sheets you can find that here. Keep in mind you'll need to leave a note on which acrylic sheets you want it added to, and purchase a quantity equal to two times the number of acrylic sheets you want it added to (or one time for single side masking).
★Helpful Tips & Tricks★
-Always run a test cut! One thing we find often is that despite similar setups and machines, cut settings can vary drastically. While we have done plenty of testing and work with best practices, all of our suggestions are starting points.
-Our Acrylic comes masked with paper or plastic, and varies by manufacturer. We recommend removing the masking on those with plastic masking and replacing with your own favorite paper masking.
-Due to the cutting process, it's not uncommon to get a stubborn "fog" on your acrylic after using your laser despite any type of masking. For CAST acrylic, you can clean this with a modest amount of rubbing alcohol for a crystal clean finish. However, acrylic can be weakened by any harsh or dehydrating chemicals and EXTRUDED will absolutely be compromised with these. We recommend using Novus Plastic Polish on your acrylic, especially mirrors and other extruded acrylics. The Fine Scratch Polish also works great on all acrylics for buffing out any minor imperfections that may have happened through the crafting process.
Please note that due to the cutting process, actual sheet measurements may vary up to 1/4"" depending on the type of acrylic and blades used to cut down the sheets.
