Re: cuting plexi
Also, leave the paper backing on it while you're cutting it!!!!
This is important to avoid cracking/splintering for whatever method you use to cut it if you're using a saw type method.

If you're using a heated up piece of wire (which is possible for both cutting & bending - on a very low heat setting to avoid burning too much), then it would probably be better to take the paper off first.
