Re: Cutting Lexan

If its thinner than 1/8 ", possibly 3/16", leave the backing on and skor it real good with a sharp knife. Then just bend the cut open until it snaps. Just make sure the skor is even and deep all the way allong and this only works for straight cuts and will not go around corners. It leaves the best edge of any method, and makes a cool booming noise when working with big sheets.
