Plexi, Glass or Lexan?
Franco B:
You find polycarb that much easier to cut? A 1/4" router bit goes through acrylic like butter. I just finished two of these 2 Spicy/HOTD repro CPOs for someone out of 5mm acrylic. Didn't take long at all even using a cheap £2 1/4" flush trim bit.

Just a reminder that polycarbonates don't like ammonia so avoid using Windex to clean Lexan:
Can I use Windex® on all types of windows and mirrors? On glass windows and mirrors, Windex® cleaners work great. They're fast and easy, and they cut right through dirt and grime. Just spray on Windex® and wipe it off for a streak-free shine.
If you plan to use Windex® on your tinted windows, test a small area first. Care of tinted windows may vary.
For all of you airplane and helicopter owners, we're sorry, but Windex® is not formulated to clean your LEXAN® windows.

I do... I can't count how many plexi pieces of cracked and/or broke... I've NEVER broken a Lexan piece...ever...
Franco B:
The only time when I have cracked/broken it is when trying to drill large holes too close to each other. I now just drill them 8mm and then route them.

What is normally used on Std CP's? My original CP is 23 years old and has very few scratches on it, It only has a piece which looks very slightly melted
