Japanese Shoji Paper - PVC laminated?
Based on Robotoy's mention, I approached a client about using this, in
lieu of opaque glass, on two desk doors: http://tatamiroom.com/cgi-local/cata...JI_PAPER-10#4S She "LOVED it!" picked out the "Shoji Warlon Sheet#5-Extra Strength" on the above page, and I just ordered it this morning. Never used the stuff before ... anyone with some experience have an idea of how best to both cut, and mount, this material in place of glass in a door? My first thought is a carbide blade on the table saw? (Rob, it's your damned fault!) -- www.eWoodShop.com Last update: 4/15/2010 KarlCaillouet@ (the obvious) http://gplus.to/eWoodShop |

Well, I'm going to give you your own advice back.
Contact the vendor. They must have some good info.

I guess it depends on how thick, brittle, and tough it is. If too thick, why didn't you immediately think of your Festool saur?

Cool. Not cheap, is it? I've been eyeing some of the new and improved shoji papers for some upcoming CNC project ideas. I'm thinking that $33/door is reasonable. Don't think I can get a boutique glass for that price? If too thick, why didn't you immediately think of your Festool saur?

There's always that. I was hoping it might cut like polycarbonate, which Is quicker to do on the table saw. Basically I don't have a clue, and neither did the salesperson I talked to the other day. Someone in the know was supposed to return my call yesterday, but no joy there yet. -- www.ewoodshop.com |

Well lets see you ordered it, so it can't be there for a couple of days.
You don't like your own advice.. No surprise. You act like a freaking prima-dona ... Grow the **** up , and learn to control your childish temper.

There's always that. I was hoping it might cut like polycarbonate, which Is quicker to do on the table saw. Judging by the application, I'd think it was fairly thin. "Extra Strength", to a marketer, might mean an extra 0.002" of resin on each side of a 0.003" paper. Basically I don't have a clue, and neither did the salesperson I talked to the other day. Someone in the know was supposed to return my call yesterday, but no joy there yet. Does it ship in a sheet or rolled? That might be a clue in itself. -- Truth loves to go naked. --Dr. Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia, 1732 |

My first thought is a carbide blade on the table saw? I once made a tatami screen with rice paper (non-laminated). Just cut with scissors or sharp knife and glued to frame. The cutter needs to be sharp and the edge of paper clamped under something as the paper tends to tear. Never seen what you have but I think sawing might be too aggressive. How thick/rigid is it? Tried a knife & straight edge? 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. -- dadiOH ____________________________ Winters getting colder?

Actually, it is "reinforced" by being laminated on both sides, with pvc, as the subject line/original post indicated from the beginning. (seems like most did not scroll down to the actual product in question before replying, apparently assuming everything on the linked page was had the same properties) Nope, never handled the stuff, again, as I indicated in the first post; and I certainly expect it to be thin, probably very thin, but still in "sheet" form. Most interesting thing so far is Mike M.'s response ... if that is the nature of the beast, even with both sides laminated, I believe I could handle that process in the video, with some practice ... unfortunately there won't be much material to practice with, thus my post asking if anyone has had any experience with the stuff. -- www.eWoodShop.com Last update: 4/15/2010 KarlCaillouet@ (the obvious) http://gplus.to/eWoodShop |

How thick/rigid is it? Tried a knife & straight edge? Don't have it yet.

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: https://picasaweb.google.com/1113554...40773600367218 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. -- www.eWoodShop.com Last update: 4/15/2010 KarlCaillouet@ (the obvious) http://gplus.to/eWoodShop |

Realized after posting you ordered a laminated version but hopefully you can find more info there. LOL ... one of the few who did. I appreciate your post. Until I saw the video I didn't have a clue how any of this Japanese paper was mounted. Although this might not fall in the same category as in the video, I won't know until I actually lay hands on it, so any information adds to my options. -- www.eWoodShop.com Last update: 4/15/2010 KarlCaillouet@ (the obvious) http://gplus.to/eWoodShop |

If the paste soaks through the paper, maybe spray-on contact cement? ...or maybe photographic "dry-mounting paper"? ...or: http://www.amazon.com/Silicone-Paper.../dp/B002DOYGKG Instead of luan, maybe a piece of glass? ;-) Yeah, whatever it is applied has to be opaque to do what the client wants. I think the adhesive backed paper is what is made for mounting on glass, not the laminated product which is what I ordered based on what the client wanted. Considering the bubbling/air pocket problems I've had with putting a protective, adhesive backed screen on a smartphone, I hope like hell that is NOT the only option! But, I'll know when it gets here ... ITMT, it's been an illustrative post, on many fronts, to say the least. -- www.eWoodShop.com Last update: 4/15/2010 KarlCaillouet@ (the obvious) http://gplus.to/eWoodShop |

Well, if it is laminated and comes in sheet form, you might want to consider a plastic cutting blade which if I remember correctly would have a negative hook angle. Perhaps a solid surface/laminate blade for Leon's TS55 or TS75 might do the trick. http://www.festoolusa.com/products/p...de-496309.html |

In your case, I'm thinking spray adhesive on the rabbet, ditto on grill. -- dadiOH ____________________________ Winters getting colder? Tired of the rat race? Maybe just ready for a change?

Mine started long before the BP medication. In fact I have no side effects from the BP medication at all. I take Metoprololto regulate the heart rate (A-Fib, five years back) and I can tell if I've missed it but the BP stuff I'm taking does nothing adverse. I was on one that attacked my shoulder joints. That was no fun. It didn't happen right away so it took me close to a year to figure out what was causing the problem. |

A migraine was coming on (I don't get pain just an aura and my reading ability goes to hell) and I went and took a nap. ;-) You too? Things start shimmering like heat waves on a desert? Scared the hell out of me the first time I had one. Around a blob or arc. The center is darkish. I can clearly see text there but the brain can't decode it. Fortunately it rarely lasts more than a ten or twenty minutes. Like I said, absolutely no pain, just this aura thing - both eyes (unless it's out of the normal FOV of one), open or shut. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aura_%28symptom%29 There's a pretty good simulation of what I see in here, though it's not usually this bad. I also don't have any other symptoms before or after. The migraines seem to come in clusters, though, lasting a few days, maybe a week. Then they'll go away for months. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/migraine-aura/MM00659/ It was scary the first time (20 years ago, or more) but it's now just another ho-hum problem. It didn't take me long to figure out that it was a migraine, rather than an eye problem, though. It's always the same in both eyes and it doesn't matter if there is actually anything to see. I have mild RA, too, which is far more debilitating and that isn't really bad (particularly since I moved to the South ;-). Yes, getting old is a bitch, but as Swingman noted, it sure beats the only alternative. |

My first thought is a carbide blade on the table saw? I once made a tatami screen with rice paper (non-laminated). Just cut with scissors or sharp knife and glued to frame. The cutter needs to be sharp and the edge of paper clamped under something as the paper tends to tear. Never seen what you have but I think sawing might be too aggressive. How thick/rigid is it? Tried a knife & straight edge? 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. Yeah, something similar to old wooden window screens, staple it to wood frame into a rabbet and then cover the staples with a molding. |
