Hello

Not sure if this is the right place for this - but you can always throw me out if not.

I have just got some acrylic sheets back cut to size to fit in our kitchen as a splashback (we are putting nice wallpaper under them). We cut them out a template because one wall has two plug sockets. The holes that htey have cut are a bit tight so it won't lay flush against the wall:( Does anyone know if I can sand acrylic down until it gets ot the right size? if so how wouuld I do it? by hand? wiht a hand held sander (woudl have to be really small).

any help is much appreicated.

best wishes

Acrylic sheet cracks very easily, so I would do it by hand even if it does take a while. Maybe wrapping wet 'n' dry around a ruler would be the best bet?

what about a small fine file ? how thin/thick is the area to be sanded ?
Will it be on show once sanded ? any pics ?
