Here's how to make gorgeous acrylic business signs using Trolase materials and no glue. I designed these laser cut acrylic business signage for my friend opening up her third coffee location here in Wesley Chapel, Florida.

    hi there! is there a standard size for the drill holes (for hanging) that you do on all signs? trying to figure out best way to hang an acrylic exterior door sign and if I need to create these holes or if there is a better way as the holes may not work with my design. TIA!

    Hi! I found making the holes no smaller than .125" and most commonly .025" drill holes the best for signs I've made. These specific round signs I cut the 1/4" holes and then it was used to hang from the ceiling by the checkout stand

    Wow! This is excellent. I use clear sheets and engrave the signs and then paint over it using acrylic paints. If I leave the sticker on when engraving, it becomes easier to paint once it’s dry I can peel off. However other times the sticker burns and gets stuck on the design which makes it difficult to paint. Any idea what’s the best way to?

    You could try a couple things. If you search contact paper on Amazon, it comes in a roll and you can use that to peel and then paint the negative area you peel off. Or you could also search for a roll of 3M sticky paper that you can apply to the back of the colored acrylic to then stick on the clear acrylic.
