I am about to do my first Acrylic Bottle Stoppers - but I have a newbie question. When I did the wooden blank I was able to force the blanks onto the stopper mandrel by screwing them on and having the mandrel thread the wood. Was a challenge for some of the burls but I managed.
My concern is that the acrylic has much less give and if I force it it might shatter the blank. Should I tap the acrylic or can you do it the same way as wood blanks?
Any tips are appreciated. Thanks.
