I has to pull of a panel than I had bonded to the bottom panel. The surface is fairly rough as I had quite a few bubbles. I'm thinking or trying to run the back of a hacksaw blade down the end of the sheet and then wet sand with 400-1000 grit. Does that sound like a good plan?

A hacksaw blade will work however depending on the thickness of the acrylic a dedicated scraper would be better. I used a carbide blade 2" scraper to finish some edges on some 2.125" thick panels and they came out very smooth. It took a lot of scraping but the results were worth it.
