Anyone had any experience of the stuff ? I have a need to make three small
mirrors - about credit card size - and two of them are not square. 3mm
acrylic mirror material is available dirt cheap on Fleabay, and is reckoned
to be at least as good as glass. Question is, how do you cut the stuff
reasonably neatly ? I've cut other acrylics before and always found them to
be a nightmare at clogging any cutting tools. I was thinking maybe something
like a Dremel with a general purpose cutting wheel ? They market this
material as 'shatterproof', so that's good when it comes to cutting it,
right ... ? I wonder if that also means that it would score and snap ?

Needs something sharp - I once cut 8' along a sheet of polypropylene with a
bluntish jigsaw and found that I still had a single sheet but with a ridge
along each side!
A wheel would do it if the teeth are really sharp. Could be interesting
holding a small pieces without scratching them.
