TRAIN TABLE GUARD RAIL
Installation is the easiest thing you've done on your layout.
The holes are pre-cut with the laser.  Approximately
1 inch up from the bottom edge and 1 inch down from the design.  The clear
panels have no design, so you can adjust the height however you want.

We recommend using
Wafer Head screws.  They have a large flat head, good
for holding the panel and will not stick out like other screws.  
DO NOT USE
DRYWALL or tapered head screws.  They WILL break the panel.
When mounting panels, be careful not to over tighten screws.
Panels can be heated and carefully bent around curves.
1.  Remove paper or film from panel.
2.  Install screw in hole at one end of the panel.
3.  Use heat gun to "warm" panel.
DO NOT over heat one spot, keep moving heat gun.
Heat panel until you can easily bend it around your
table edge.
4.  Use clamps or screws to hold in place.
Clamps are recommended, clamp only tight                       
enough to hold in place.   If screws are used keep             
them loose.  Panel will shrink as it cools.  If you                 
screw it tight when it is hot it will crack when it cools.
5.  Once panel is cool, attach to table.
6.  If you are bending more than one panel in a row.          
     Wait till the first panel is cool and attached to the          
     table before bending the second.
Panels can be glued together
CA glue can be used but is not recommended.  
Clear silicone glue is better.
The best way to glue the acrylic panels together is with
Weld-On #3 acrylic cement.  You can mount all your
panels edge to edge and then go back and glue them
together.  Use an eye dropper to apply cement from the
top of the panel.  The cement is water-thin and will wick
into the joints and weld the pieces together.
Cleaning and Scratch Remover
Cleaning is easily done with a cotton towel or t-shirt
material and water.  Do not use paper towel or glass
cleaner.  Paper will scratch the acrylic.
Cleaning/polishing solution is available.  Scratches can
be removed or polished away.
