Seal it up, and lay it flat for a few minutes. After that, flip it over and let the other side soak for a few. Open the bag and fish out your work. The backing paper should just slough off. Now rinse off the acrylic with washing-up liquid\/dish detergent and warm water, taking care not to scrape the surface. You should now have a perfectly clean and shiny acrylic object. The d-limonene has the pleasant side-effect of de-stinkifying the cut plastic, too.<\/p>\n<p>You should be able to re-use the Goo Gone baggie many times if you&#8217;re careful. You might not be able to rinse Goo Gone down the drain where you are; please check local regulations.<\/p>\n<p>(<em>The piece is the non-broken version of <a href=\"http:\/\/scruss.com\/blog\/2016\/08\/24\/le-sigh\/\">this<\/a>.<\/em>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting the backing paper off laser cut acrylic is a pain.
