Love the technique! I know there are reflective films that could make for interesting mirror effects, i think polarized films would also make for interesting projects! Thanks for the tutorial!
@@Cuttle never used this technique or polarizing film but it should be possible to use the film made for car windows. There's also one way mirror film that I've seen ppl apply to acrylic, that should work also. SO MANY POSSIBILITIES!!!
@@weisnowhere We once used some one-way mirror film onto polycarbonate sheet for a friend's art project. I believe all those materials were from TAP Plastics in the Bay Area. Although not perfectly flat, it's a good way to make an inexpensive "infinity mirror". Definitely want to try the polarizing film! -Toby
Yes. If you don't use the slip solution, even if you place the adhesive film very carefully, you will have lots of little air bubbles. By using the slip solution and squeegeeing it out, you can remove all or most air bubbles.
You can also use this same technique to laminate clear acrylic with iridescent window film for laser cutting! 💥
this is soooo cool, thank you so much!
So glad I found this! ❤
Fun and cute!

Would be awesome to experiment with polarized films! Is there a supplier you've used for these?

The color shift mirror film is a very intriguing product. Can it be applied to a convex compound shape, like a glass ball/sphere to make ornaments?
Is the idea of the "slip solution" to keep the two layers from sticking before you squeege it out?
