• The sides are typically the same colour, but tend to look brighter (as they catch the light).
• The transparency varies for each colour. We use the word translucent interchangeably with transparent, such as you may be able to see objects clearly through this material.

• Maximum usable area: 595mm x 295mm.
• Maximum sheet size: Approx. 600mm x 300mm.
• Price Range: $ Low.

Engraving on Front by Default

All translucent acrylics are engraved on the front by default. Something to consider for text if you plan to use the smooth/not-engraved side as the 'front'.

High Gloss Shows Dust

Where there is a high gloss finish, any marks/fluff/scratches/etc can show up quite easily on finished products. Our advice is to peel your pieces as late in the process as you can (such as do all your gluing and assembly that you can with the protective tape still on) and as late as you can, peel the tape, clean the pieces with a gentle microfiber cloth and seal them in something like a cellophane bag.

• Of course, this material will show through colours placed underneath, so layering designs may give an undesirable effect.
• Looks great when combined with edge lit or back lit applications.
• Most Translucent Acrylic colours typically come with a brown protective tape, which adheres quite strongly to the material. Because of this, it can be ideal for using when applying a paint fill technique.

• Cuts well and leaves a clean, smooth edge line that typically shows the core colour on the sides.
• Engraves well and can hold fine details (engraved areas typically have a frosted white appearance). Engraving looks great on most Translucent colours, and when used for paint filling.
• Comes with a protective tape coating that will need to be peeled off.
• It is difficult to capture colour correctly; allow for slight variation from monitor to reality.
