Otty what is a good place to pick up acylic and what specifically did you cut it with? I have bad memories of cutting plexiglass and its wonderful propensity to crack! | |

I would score it real deep with a carpet knife and lay a straight edge down across the line I just made, then put my knees on it to hold it in place and pulled back on the acrylic. It will snap in a straight line just like tile. I would then trim the edges on both side because that stuff will cut you wide open if your not careful. If the pieces were real small I would just cut it with a compound miter saw and then trim. | |
