Can this be used on acrylic? I've seen some protectors have said not recommended for acrylic surfaces

I don't see why it couldn't be used on acrylic. It has a faux suede type backing. I have mine on a painted wood surface so I couldn't say for sure about the acrylic, but I think it would be fine. Sorry I can't be more definite

I would imagine so. it is soft backed so I don't think there will be a adhesion problem. But I am not a scientist so can not say for sure.

I have not tried this on an acrylic tub but, I have used this with both the blue pad and the bristle brush on my stainless steel sink, tile shower, flat cooktop range, porcelain bathroom sink...all without scratches. I think it might be safe to say it would be fine on an acrylic tub as long as you do not use an abrasive cleanser. I have been happy with my results in using this power scrubber. It has been effective for me and though it is not a miracle worker, it had cut down on "elbow grease" and time spent cleaning.

I'm not sure. The paint I used was washable paint. I would assume acrylic paint would work fine. Just wash it by hand if you have to wash it.

First this only works on plastic not glass. The next concern would be is the tint on the surface or is it through and through? If they are plastic and you won't rub off the tint off I think it would work well.

Now that I own one of these and have looked at it more closely. It should work fine on acrylic, but the earlier answer is nonsense. These thermometers peel and stick to the outside of the tank. There's labeling on the front of the package stating it goes on the outside. They're based on liquid crystal, which is generally nontoxic and non-corrosive. They pose no threat to fish, particularly since they don't go in the tank at all. I use it on a glass tank, but there's no reason these would not work on acrylic. Acrylic is a bit less thermally conductive than glass, so the thermometer will respond slightly slower to changes in temperature than it would on glass, but this shouldn't be an issue for day-to-day temperature monitoring or hour-by-hour thermostat adjustments. The only possible realistic drawback I can think of for acrylic is the peel-and-stick adhesive is designed to be removable, but it might be harder to remove from acrylic than glass. Having not tried it on acrylic I can only theorize.

I have only used it on canvas,but if it adheres to canvas that has been painted in layers of acrylic paint,which has plastic in it,I would think that it would . I would test it out a small surface first,just to make sure.

I do not know about either of these as I do not have acrylic and have not removed. The adhesive is separate and I would image that if you were concerned you could probably find a known safe bet at home depot. Also, the adhesive does not smell like it would be the type that would eat into acrylic. The step is very good, however.

haven't used w/acrylics. I like the way they move on canvas and I do seal them before and after each step to prevent running.

Since this item is applied using very strong 3M Tape we cannot guarantee that it will not affect the surface paint when removed. Our question is why would you want to remove it?

This is a great hood and gives great light. I have it on my glass tank. I think it is made more for an All-Glass. I am not familiar with acrylic tanks.

Hi Joseph, The EnduroShield for Glass kit really needs an actual glass substrate in order to work how we would expect. While there can be some benefit on an acrylic surface, as the product is not designed for acrylic we would not be able to guarantee how well it would work, nor how long it might last. If you have any other questions feel free to give us a call or send an email, Thanks, The EnduroShield Team

I used it on my acrylic shower pan and it covered well and holds up fine, so far at least. That was about a year ago.Do make sure everything is very clean, as recommended in the instructions.

It will not hurt it but it is a waste of money. Use Plexus on acrylic windows, like aircraft or acrylic painted surfaces. Something with a high gloss finish to make it shine and easier to remove foreign objects, like bugs.

I do not know. Further I would not try it. Acrylic art is done with acrylic paint, thus it is plastic. If you do anything, mat the picture and frame it behind UV plastic instead of glass. Protect any valuable piece of art work in a covered enclosure.

The best way to clean these, or any acrylic TV screen, is with an ammonia-free aerosol foaming glass cleaner that specifically states "safe for plastics". "SprayAway" is a major brand available at most retailers that works great and is what we use regularly for all screen surfaces. Regular glass cleaner containing ammonia (to reduce streaking on glass surfaces) will destroy acrylic products leaving etched in streak marks like liquid sandpaper. Hope that helps.

I very much doubt it. I think you'd need acrylics for that, but it would be worth googling. In any case, you'd need to prep the surface by at least removing all dirt and oils and maybe giving a final wipe with rubbing alcohol. But that's just me and I'm an experimenter at heart :-)

I had no problem using it with regular polish on acrylics. I have Question? What do you use to remove your acrylics?
