I'm currently working on a project which requires me to mill some panels from a 12" x 24" sheet of 1/8" cast acrylic. I've never milled thin flexible material before and I'm thinking my usual 4 point clamping system will not be sufficient. I'm ordering some double-stick Nitto tape which I've heard good things about. However, I'm itching to get started with what I have on hand right now.

Therefore, I'm thinking about using 3M Super 77 spray adhesive to mount the paper-backed acrylic to a piece of sacrificial MDF backer. After searching the archives for "Super 77" I learned that it is not easy to get off of your part, but that shouldn't be a problem for me since the Super 77 will not touch the acrylic, just the paper backer.

Has anyone tried this? I would love to learn from other's experience before messing it up myself.
