Have you ever wondered how exactly your Lucites are made? In order to ensure that we deliver a quality product, a lot of highly skilled work is involved in making Lucites that you’ll be proud to display in your office. The exact timing and order of the production steps of Lucites can vary according to the specific design. But, for the most part, they follow the basic sequence below.
The production process of Lucites starts with the blending of two ingredients: an acrylic resin powder, and monomer, a clear liquid. The resulting mixture is a thick, opaque liquid, roughly similar to toothpaste.
Items to be placed within the Lucites—whether paper or acetate containing text, or pewter castings etc.—are layered into the mixture by hand.
This liquid mixture is then poured into molds.
Another layer of the mixture is then poured over the objects and allowed to harden.
Once the acrylic mixture has hardened, it is placed into ovens called autoclaves. The autoclave functions like a kiln, the process can take up to 7 hours.
Once cooled, the Lucite deal toys goes through initial stages of sanding.
The Lucite tombstones then have their artwork screen printed and placed.
