Don’t Panic If You See This!

If you can’t see through the plastic, please 
don’t panic! 

 What you’re seeing is just the 

plastic or paper protective covering.

When plastic sheets are manufactured they 
are covered by either a paper (brown 
colored) or plastic (white) covering to protect 
against scratches. Follow the directions 
below to remove the cover and discover the 
beautiful plastic underneath.  

To remove the covering from an acrylic 
panel, lay the panel flat on a table. Then peel 
up a corner of the covering and 

CAREFULLY 

and SLOWLY 

pull horizontally to the sheet to 

reduce the lateral forces that would bend the 
acrylic.  This video shows just what to do
