The tabs have teeth which works brilliantly on wood, but less so on acrylic - so I heated it with my tiny blowtorch in order to get it together, but now that it’s together it’s solid!

What a fun way to remember your trip! As if you could forget it. It looks great in the acrylic, and thanks for the tip on heating it. I’ve grabbed it from the catalog but haven’t made it yet.
I imagine if you were heating a whole bunch you’d smell it - but at the amounts I can do with my lighter, none at all. I have a torch lighter like this to make it easy to both aim the flame, and keep it going!
I can’t wait to see it backlit on the Yule tree!
