   Choose a shape that most represents the shape of your acrylic.
3. With the back side to you. Measure the exact width and length of the backside of the acrylic to the 16th of an inch (example: 38 3/16). Be exact! Do not round off measurements.
4. Note any facial areas, holes, slots, bends or curves.
   If the acrylic has facials, what color is the facial area?
