I'm sure you have done your homework, but I found some videos on you tube that were very helpful and very detailed. Here's a link to the first one.

I don't know if you are making the cuts or not, but it's worth it to have the plant/store/whatever make the cuts. Edge prep should not be hurried through. I found it tough to take the time necessary to prep the edges for welding.
If you are making the cuts yourself, try to do it while moveing the table fence as few times as necessary. This will ensure uniform dimensions.
Good luck![/QUOTE]
Thanks for the information! all the peices will be cut to my dimensions by the acrylic provider, so they should be very precise. If not, I have access to a plethora of CNC machines and table top milling machines! I have learned in my research to allow for thermal expansion when bonding the baffles!
