Laser cut cell cast acrylic...What next?

[Fyveonit]

Hi! My design and development funds my reef hobby, but I am trying to merge them into one. I picked up a laser, and want to design and make my own frag racks. I have a pretty quick question...What steps do I need to take to wash and "cure" the acrylic for my frag tanks? No oils or solvents used while cutting etc, just a frickin laserbeam, but it did leave some residue on the acrylic form either the paper backings, or just vaporized acrylic...

I'm about to make some of my own soon as well (laser cutter available at my local makerspace), I'd assume just make sure it gets rinsed really well. If you were etching you might have some extra acrylic dust on it, but just cutting is probably not a big deal. I'm no expert though!

Heck yea, I have had mine running for about a week, love it already.
