Re: routing plexiglass/acrylic

Hi,
The plastic wraper is brown and the plastic is jet black. The
wraper on the material looks very old. As you drill or mill it, it
slowly coats the blade. Even drilling it is different. The
odor while cutting is not like the new plastics. You must
have a newer version of the plastic. A friend gave me a large
sheet of this material. He works with plastic all the time.
He said "See if you have any luck with this". Several times
I have had this stuff ready for the curb. The newer plastics
are so much better. Do you remember the good old days when
the protective paper's glue hardened?
