MARYLANE what does your husband use to cut the pexiglass, my husband tried to make me an extension table for my sewing mmachine to fit my table I use and the pexi started to melt on the cuts after a few inches. He says he will try again if I find out what everyone is using to cut with. I have allkinds of rulers and templates I want him to cut for me.

Yes, please let us know what you use to cut with as I know that you can melt the plastic if you don't use the correct blade. Thanks

I have used blue painters tape on clear rulers, including those already marked. This way I can mark the lines I'm using for a particular pattern and don't have to strain my eyes to figure out which line I'm aiming for each time.

I had some cut at the local hardware store. When I got home and cut some fabric found out they weren't the right size even though I had given him the measurements. Didn't think to check before I used them. Just trusted them to cut what I asked for. Also my edges weren't smooth.

Oh a 24 inch or 26 inch long 2 1/2 wide would be wonderful

I think with anything that is kind of a specialty you need to have a clear understanding of what the charges are up front. If they can't tell you then your at their mercy when it comes time to pay. Believe me this comes from experience (been there, got burned, learned my lesson).

There are plastic cutting blades made for most types of saws (circular, table, and jig saws all work for acrylics, even routers work) and lots of info on the internet on how to cut acrylics without melting, cracking, or scratching it.

Just gotta shop for the best deal to meet your needs

You DON'T WANT to put alcohol on plexiglass...it makes it cloudy. I speak from an expensive mistake that my DH made. He tried to "clean" it before he put it in the frame and it went all white where he wiped it.

A fine tip permanent marker will work.
