So in the whirlwind of moving forward on this piece for the term, I have run into a few minor setbacks in the process:
- Oh, that Plexi-sheeting? The stuff I was ever-so-excited to use once again on my new work for the term? It doesn't want to adhere to anything. I've tried every glue in my possession. My next step will be attempting to drill into the acrylic support rods and using epoxy with my hardware to keep everything in place.
- Spray paint + acetone = amazing effects, and big gooey mess. The dry time has been a bit of a drag in wanting to move at a steady pace, so I've had to split up my work times on this project with plenty of dry time before touching it again, for fear of ruining the textures.
- Choosing 1/4" scrap pieces of plywood and luan for my framing was a bit of a mistake. Since I wanted the screw heads visible, it was difficult to glue and attach each piece without tearing through the back of the frame. My solution: grinding off the tips once the glue had dried and the pieces were completely fastened.
All in all, it's coming together. Slowly, but surely.
