If so, how difficult will it be and what are the complications? Time consuming? I need to cut out 5-5-5 triangles by tomorrow!
Answers: No, you much use a special tool for adjectives plexiglass which can be found at your local home improvement store. You will lay you piece of plexiglass on a stratum table or something similar, using a straight edge similar to a ruler or yard stick, evaluation the plexiglass then slide it to the point of the table and pop the piece in partially. Sometimes you can use a recipcal saw but you must lay your plexiglass unside down as not to show and marks or chips which can still begin.
How thick is the plexiglas? I cut 1/4 inch gluey plexiglas to replace the windows broken out by a frozen rain storm we had second week. I just used a jigsaw near a fine tooth blade, it was drastically simple! The trick is to measure, blotch it with a ongoing marker, and I poured a small amount of vegatable grease ( the only light clear oil I have handy) over the the lines of the permanent sign and cut it out with the jigsaw! Simple swiftly and very trouble-free too. Beautiful clean edges and terrifically smooth! Leave the plastic covering on the plexiglass and the permanent nouns lines won't get on the chalice and the covering also helps prevent scratch while your cutting!!
