on z throttle Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I like to use electrical tape. You can make some very clean radius', without the tape crinkling up. And I prefere the hacksaw blade, using just the blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 We cut my plastic last summer so it was 95 degrees outside. It softens up the plastic & easy to cut. Masks off the plastic to create the lines to my liking. A new utility knife sliced thru it like butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theshee Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Heres what I do... Seems like the cutting the fenders question has been asked a bunch, so I thought I would post how we do them. Here is what I started with... Measure off your tape lines to get it all even... I draw on my tapeline with a Sharpie marker so I have a permanent line to cut along... Cut along the line, I wanted right outside to get where I needed to be... Used a Dremel with a large cut off wheel Sand the edges down... Finished with the cut... These are going to be painted, but thats how I cut em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tngrob420 Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 i have heard that using a torch is a good way to get the stress marks out of plastics. has anybody else heard of this/tried it? or is this a load of b.s.? also i cut the fenders on my blaster with a dremel/cut-off wheel. even on the lowest speed setting it melted the plastics. i work with plastic for a living a torch will take some light stress marks out but not real bad ones just lightly heat the stress mark and wipe off smokey area with ur finger just dont heat it too long and u dont a lot of heat to do this.no cutting torchs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shee rips Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 i have heard that using a torch is a good way to get the stress marks out of plastics. has anybody else heard of this/tried it? or is this a load of b.s.? also i cut the fenders on my blaster with a dremel/cut-off wheel. even on the lowest speed setting it melted the plastics. it works but be very careful not to melt the plastic. if you melt the plastic it is almost sure to break, in a surprisingly short time. thats what happened to me. if i were to do it again i would get ahold of a heat gun. if you decide to use a torch, good luck :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheecowboy Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 i have found useing a pair of tin snips works really good. nice clean line that really dont need to be sanded, be like useing a razor but a little safer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
