Best way to widen a buttonhole with plexi already installed?
epac90:
So I got all of my buttons installed in my control panel no problem. The very last thing I went to put in was the spinner (Ultimarc Spintrak). It says that it is supposed to fit in a standard sized button hole, but the button hole is just not big enough. I really don't wanna take everything off again, as I already have everything else installed.
Can I just use some 80 grit sandpaper against the inside of the button hole?? I'm not worried about the mdf, I mainly just don't wanna hurt the plexi. Will plain old sandpaper work fine on the plexi?

Too thick? It's only 1/8" plexi, seems like it would be easier to sand than the 5/8" mdf. Well what the best way to go about some very slight removal? I mean I barely need to remove any, probably within hundredths of an inches. Also I don't really mind the plexi edges being rough, as it will be covered up by the knob (yeah yeah, that's what she said and all that good stuff... I'm trying my hardest not to make this whole topic sound perverted lol).

The sand paper would work fine, but you may end up with unwanted dust under the plexi. I would shave the edge with a sharp xacto knife to remove necessary material.
good day.
