What are Doodads made from?
All of the items on this site are made from either 3mm or 6mm thick Perspex.
Some of the items are backed with a layer of gloss laminate which acts as a bond and strengthens the item.
Both of these materials are laser cut and then hand assembled and sealed using a synthetic bonding compound.
Facts about Perspex
- Perspex is a trade name of Lucite International and is polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) acrylic sheet
- The best method for cleaning Perspex sheet is by wiping with a mild cleaning agent and a soft cloth to loosen any dirt and grime.
- You should not use chemicals, glass spray, or other abrasive cleaning materials, nor should you use any form of scraper or squeegee or other sharp instruments.
- Please note that Perspex must not be positioned near to any naked flame, nor exposed to temperatures in excess of 75 degrees C.
- Perspex is relatively strong but will snap if you bend it or could break if you drop it on a hard surface.
