Product information. We work in a large industrial unit and hold a large quantity of stock. This means we can process our orders swiftly and keep our cutting costs low by cutting in bulk. We work with a variety of matrerials. MDF can come in a variety of shades of beige/brown and the 6mm and 18mm MDF often comes with  green core or fully green. We only use high quality materials and the colour will not show through once painted. We recommend sanding items to improve their appearance for you to sell on at maximum profit. Our MDF can be painted using a variety of paints and a sand in between coats is recommended for a smooth finish. Our wood veneer once sanded looks beautiful but can be enhanced with stain/lacquer. We recommend wood glue if you need to glue any embellishments onto either of our woods. To glue acrylic you can use a variety of plastic glues, we use Tensol to bond acrylics together for a durable bond. We use uhu or gorilla glue to adhere acrylic to wood. Jointed acrylic products may need gling due to thickness variances in the manufacturing process. When engraving acrylics, the engraving goes a lighter colour, so engraving on darker colours shows up very well. Engraving on white, cream, yellow, baby pink etc can make the engraving harder to see. Many crafters infill the engraving with acrylic paints. Alternatively you can request any of our products without engraving so that you can use vinyl text instead. We UV print a lot of acrylic items which is suitable for outdoor use and is perfect for vinyl application too. All our acrylic apart from the mirrors are made from cast acrylic and are suitable for sublimation. The white gives the best results. UV printed products are waterproof and can be cleaned with soapy water. Do not use alcohol spray on these items.
