Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the correct size elliptical dome for my model or display base?
Measure the outside diameter of the area you want to cover and select a dome with an outside diameter equal to or slightly larger than this measurement. If you need the dome to locate over a raised feature or base, use the inside diameter options to ensure there is enough clearance for a snug but not overly tight fit.
Can the fluorescent red acrylic dome be used with lighting or LEDs?
Yes, the fluorescent red acrylic works well with internal or external lighting such as LEDs. The material transmits light and enhances the coloured effect, making illuminated features stand out while still providing a protective cover. Always ensure heat levels remain within the safe operating range for acrylic.
Is the dome suitable for long-term display use, and how should it be cleaned?
The dome is suitable for long-term indoor display use thanks to its rigid acrylic construction. To clean it, use a soft cloth with mild soapy water and avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can scratch or dull the surface. Gently wiping rather than scrubbing will help maintain clarity and appearance.
