Default Japanese Shoji Paper - PVC laminated?

Never seen what you have but I think sawing might be too aggressive.


Exactly what I was hoping someone who may have had some experience with
the laminated product could provide.

How thick/rigid is it? Tried a knife & straight edge?


Don't have it yet. Asked the same question of the salesperson at their
800 number last week; also how to cut, and suggested method of fastening
(silicon, glue, acrylyic adhesive tape, etc), all the usual mounting
methods ... they did not have a clue but "will have someone call me back".

As far as mounting goes
I'd think putting it in a rabbet and backing up the rabbet with a thin
molding would work if it is reasonably rigid; if not, same thing but staple
in.


The doors are already made, with a 1/4" rabbet to mount either glass or
some other sheet material (which this supposedly is), complete with
muntin grille's:

So, even if I have to cut a non laminated paper, as you mentioned in
your previous post, technique, or lack thereof, will be the deciding
factor ... just trying to get a jump on the process, so queried here also.
