Acrylic Block: Methyl Methacrylate Syrup Cast in Layers between Glass

A thick acrylic block cannot be cast flawless in one pour. Tattersall (ICI, US 2,071,907, 1937) built it up in layers: pour 1/2 inch of syrup on a level glass plate, let it set for a day at room temperature, pour the next 1/2 inch on top, cover with a second glass plate, wait another day, then heat the sandwich at 80 °C. Each 1/2 inch layer shrinks to about 1/3 inch. The glass gives both faces a finished polish with no grinding. The picture: our diagram.

Pour the next layer and cover

Pour a second 1/2 inch layer on the first. Lower the top glass plate onto it so it rests on the syrup and keeps pressing on it. Leave another 24 hours at about 20 °C. For a thicker block repeat the layers, a day apart, and put the plate on the last one.
