All new forklifts got a full respray before delivery.


This may or may not help, sorry, it's the best I have.
Thanks Leo. It's been an interesting quest, I think I'm converging on a solution by using an application fluid (think car window tinting) but have noticed the edges of the acrylic block still show some sivering. Pressure release film seems to be the "standard" but requires a clean room environment and lamination rollers...plus the film adhesive is rather expensive. Hence I'm still experimenting.
