Frizzle -- once again you come through with a great idea. Can you give me some more detail on how you finished the Lexan without it cracking? Did you use a spade bit to bore out the button holes? How did you cut the edges to match the underlayment? Thanks! |

I still used a hole saw for the button holes but I have used a wood boring bit (spade bit?). You can drill it without it cracking. You can even jigsaw it without cracking. I still use a plexi cutter to "score" it and then break it for large cuts, but I have used a dremel for smaller cuts. I used a router with my yellow cpo to bevel the edges without issue. |
