Buying another sheet of plexiglass

Post by Rcnewcomb »

I'll be buying another sheet of plexiglass because 60" does not equal 68".

Sometimes you need to measure three times before cutting.

Sometimes I have to take shoes off to count to 20.

Scale everything else down a bit & tell the customer "It's the new compact model" :lol: :lol: :lol:

Don't know about your side of the pond Randall but over here acrylic prices have started to return to a more normal level, what thickness was it? How much it hurts depends on the acrylic thickness, on the bright side you now have some extra stock :lol: :lol:

My lyin' eyes.

The tape measure was in the wrong part of my bifocal so 68 looked like 60. It doesn't matter how accurate your machine is if you enter the wrong number. :oops:

My board stretcher doesn't work on plexiglass.
