Shaving Plastics

[Dcuzz23]

I figured it would help a little but not as much as 10 km/h like me friend was saying..do you guys just use a jig saw to cut them?

Tin snips work great. used them to cut plastics when i put t-6's on. easy to control and cuts smooth. still clean up cuts with sandpaper if needed. theres all different styles of snips so use whichever will work best for your cut.

The actual gain is 2 mph or 3.2 kmh.

Yea ill probably just use my jigsaw, then sand down the edges and scratches

Hopefully it will turn out nice

i actually used a utility blade with a new razer... and that worked great.. a little harder but the cuts were smooth and if i sliped i didnt hack off what i didnt want to like i would have with a jig... i would just a slower cutter than a jig that way yu can easily follow the lines and stuff.. also its a good idea to mark where you want to cut with a marker... then you have a line to stay by

A utility knife is sharp/strong enough to cut the plastic, maybe ill use that then, and yea i was going to draw lines so i know where im cutting, did you have to sand the edges when you were done or did it do a good enough job

Use electrical tape. You can place and replace. leaves no residue/sticky stuff and it bends to make a curve.

i first tryed mine with a cut off wheel but it started to melt the plastic..so i used a utility knife & used the torch to heat the blade up...couldnt believe it wasnt butta

I used a hacksaw and finished up with sandpaper, and used a pencil to draw out my lines.

All good ideas ...yea i think im going to try the utility knife, and if i cant seem to get that to work, ill use a hacksaw, and sand it down

Did you just use the electrical tape as your lines, or did you put the electrical tape down, then followed that with a pencil/marker..sorry for all these questiongs just dont want to hack it up too bad
