    Use a carbide blade with 10 teeth per inch. Better yet, get a blade specifically for cutting aluminum. Lubricate as you go. Wearplenty of face gear and a shield.
  2. Question gluing sintra to a wooden frame

    Your best bet is a two-part epoxy. Rough it up, smear it on, clamp and leave in place for about 24 hours. I'll do 48 hours myself.

    Thank you for that astute observation. I'll never get that low, but if you watch some of those hand gestures, it's really gross.

    That is one filthy song. The hand gestures she makes are horrible. Not to mention she talks about eating the guy in the basket. That is gross for the kids this is meant for. I couldn't watch this to the end. Oh my, oh my...... what is this world coming to ??
  12. What kind of material is this sign board?

    Honestly, I thought that crap was discontinued years ago. It delaminates like crazy in no time at all. At least in these areas it did. Regardless of how much you treat the edges, unless you put capping/edge cap over it..... and even then the moisture gets behind it it just falls apart in no...
