Default RE: The secret of monocoat cutting.

I'm with Mike. I like may parts where they are.

I wanted some 1/4 plate glass to cut on. I dropped by the glass shop. I asked the price on a piece 24" x 36" and he quoted me a number that about dropped me, $80 I think. I stuttered, but I told him what I wanted it for and he said, "how about some used glass, I got some out back that came out of a super market window that was broken." I asked how much, he said, well, if i bevel the edges, eight bucks. I have been using it every since.

Another neat tool for cutting film is a metal T-square. It makes it easy to cut trim strips down to about 1/32" for stuff like panel lines. Sure works better than trim sheets.
