I need some help!!!!!


Some times I do to.

Cutting? Scratch a line with a steel hook/barbed object over and over until the scratch is about 1/16" deep. then break along the line like glass. Most hardware stores sell a cheep $3-$4 tool that resembles a Pocket knife for scoring the line.



I get a nice clean cut using a scroll saw. If you put clear sealing
tape on both sides it acts as a lubricant and keeps the plastic from
melting.
I also have used a jig saw with a fine tooth blade for nominal 1/10 inch material.
Masking tape worked also to protect the cut line and prevent melting.

Does anyone know where to get the glue that is used to join the material - basically a solvent weld. Or what is the solvent used?
