In Reply to: Sharp edges on Duraplex (plexiglass) ??? posted by robert mcelwee on 16, 2000 at 10:04 PM:
I put mine all the way to the edges and I just took a file and filed the edges a little (it doesn't take much effort to file the plastic) and then I sanded it a little bit and it's fine. And yes, most arcade games have the plexi going all the way to the edges.
Game on!! Brian
: I am almost finished with my cab. I just put my control panel together (formica over 5/8" birch) and I am having problems figuring out what to do with the duraplex. I put 1/8" (???) duraplex over it and cut the edges with a router so the duraplex is exactly the same size as the control panel. Now what? The edges are a little sharp. I don't know if I should use a file and just smooth them up a little, use a router bit (I have one that puts a 25 degree angle on an edge) to bevel the edge, etc. Any ideas for me out there?
