I just purchased some LED bases. When I engrave the acrylic should I reverse engrave?? I'm not sure which way would look best.

Also if anyone has any sample picture of ones they have done it would be great to see them.

thanks

Ron,

Unless there is some specific reason to engrave on the front, I most always reverse-engrave on the back. I think it's more professional looking, plus I just don't like a 'cut-up' surface on the front.

One exception may be if you have a compound picture---
There have been a few times where I've engraved on both sides with very striking results. For example, a car in the foreground (front) and mountains in the background (back).

>>> Just one person's opinion! <<<

Here is a basic, reverse-engraved, edge-lit sign.

Hi where did you buy the led base and how much? Thanks for any help.

Another vote for reverse engraving. It's just a better look.
