Pristine Acrylic French Cleats

These are the cleats before I use them. The major, uncut surfaces of the acrylic is covered in a paper to prevent scratches to the acrylic, that easily peels off when you are ready to attach the cleat to your work and to the wall.

In this image you can see the holes drilled in one half of the cleat for screwing that half to the wall.

Here you see the cleat on edge. The cut edges are not crystal clear, but when you hang the piece you don't see that. You will only see the crystal clear surface that (right now) is still covered in paper.
