[QUOTE="Jaedena, post: 1911572, member: 7384"] Hi All, I'm in the middle of a costuming project that will include a plexiglass prop. I've gone out and bought my 4'x4' piece of plexiglass, and I'm looking for some tips, tricks or any sort of advice the community can offer on cutting, etching, forming and fastening plexiglass. I've never worked with plexiglass before. From a logical standpoint, I'm thinking scoring with a box cutter for cutting, heating with a heat gun for bending, but not sure what the best method would be to etch lines in it or stick two pieces of the material together without defacing the join. The plexiglass is transparent neon in color, I'd like the joins to be as clean and sharp as possible. Any advice is warmly welcomed! [/QUOTE]
