Hi all. May I pick your brains! I don’t use acrylic - only real glass, however a regular customer has asked for two frames with acrylic in. Sizes are 25.9x19.7 & 21.4x20.7cm
Q1: Would 2mm be ok or should I buy 3mm thickness ?
Q2: suggestions on how to cut down a large sheet please? Straight edge and sharp blade?
Thanks in advance!

2mm is absolutely fine for those sizes! You can order cut to size from Wessex. I have used a wall mounted panel cutter with acrylic blade, but I'll guess repeated strokes with a Stanley knife would work too if you have strong arms. Just don't scratch it.
