The 2x4's were clamped right at the score line, but like most 2x4's, the edges are not sharp, so I will look for something harder with a fresh ripped edge. The scoring was pretty well defined, but nowhere near halfway or anything... I'll score it a...
  2. ?'s about cutting .060 aluminum with utility knife...

    I've read several times where Techman and others have mentioned this technique, so I finally want to try it. I have a 58" x 68" laminated print to mount & the aluminum sheet is 60 x 120. I am aware that I can do this with my router, but as techman mentioned, the hand cutting technique...
  3. Alternatives to Accrobat?

    excel maybe? how about just a web browser even, could that work if the fill in areas are created as fields? I have the full Acrobat version, so I've never really had to look for an inexpensive alternative to reader.

  6. Saw Blades

    I replaced my SSC blade when it shattered some polycarbonite & shot pieces so wildly someone could have been hurt... I asked a countertop laminate supplier who also carries power tools & several substrates I purchase & uses a huge panel saw ... he sold me a blade I have been using ever since...

  14. exterior lettering HDU vs. Gator: Pros & Cons

    Gary, thanks a lot for the tips on PVC adhesives... since I can't get thicker Sintra here on Maui, I might end up trying an adhesive solution, so I'll be sure to look for that weld-on product & do some testing... I'll also look into Azek, which I've never heard of... Thanks for your tips too...

  19. exterior lettering HDU vs. Gator: Pros & Cons

    hmm... can't get 3/4" PVC on Maui, but Extira is available for $78 a sheet. I remember a lot of folks being suspicious about durability claims when that product first came out.. now it's been a while but I've still never used it. Anyone have experience with Extira or opinions about it's...
