How to get the sticky paper off laser-cut acrylic without losing your shit

When you get stuff laser-cut, it comes back covered in sticky paper that is a NIGHTMARE to get off, if you’ve got lots of little bits. Like this:

Now that would take an eternity to peel off. A frustrating eternity, which is eternity + 1

So what you do is you put them in a little zip-lock bag

And give spray 2 or 3 blasts of CRC – just enough to get all the bits wet

into it. Like this:

And leave it for a couple of hours.

Then you empty the whole lot into a sock (I’m not posting a picture of a sock, get a grip, you’re annoying me now.)… couple of squirts of dish-washing liquid to get rid of the CRC… tie a rubber band round it, and put it in the wash.

And all the bits of paper come off.

Brilliant
