How to Install a Platelight Acrylic Display Safely

Quick Answer

Install your Platelight acrylic display safely by handling it by the edges, cleaning it with a microfiber cloth, and securing it with the included mounts or a compatible Platelight bundle.

Step-by-Step Safe Installation

1. Prepare your workspace: Clear a clean, flat surface and wash your hands. Remove any rings or bracelets that could scratch the acrylic. Check that the surface is free of dust and debris before you start.
2. Handle the acrylic by the edges: Always pick up the panel by its edges, never by the face. This prevents fingerprints and reduces the risk of bending or cracking. If you must touch the face, use a lint-free microfiber cloth.
3. Clean the surface gently: Use a dry microfiber cloth to remove any dust. If needed, dampen the cloth slightly with water or a mild acrylic-safe cleaner. Avoid paper towels, which can scratch. Never spray cleaner directly onto the acrylic; spray the cloth instead.
4. Position the acrylic in place: Align the panel with your chosen mounting spot. If using the Platelight backlight, make sure the acrylic sits flush against it so light diffuses evenly. Check for even spacing on all sides before securing.
5. Secure with included mounts or adhesive: Use the provided mounts or adhesive strips to hold the acrylic in place. Press gently and evenly to avoid stress points. Wait a few minutes for adhesive to set before moving the setup.
6. Test the light and adjust: Turn on your Platelight and check the glow. If the light is uneven, reposition the acrylic slightly. Avoid touching the face while adjusting. Once the light looks even, your installation is complete.
