thisismatt Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Did you radius the front edges? Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted March 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Not sure what you mean. We traced out the old panel onto the wood template and routed out the lexan using the wood template. Were you meaning something else? Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 I mean did you ease the sharp corners (edges) of the lexan so that it's not a hard edge when you wrap with vinyl, either with a quarter-round/roundover router bit or by sanding? :) Seems like you would want to, otherwise you get a very sharp edge that could be more likely to wear or cut through the vinyl Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted March 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Ah. I thought that might be what you were asking but I wasn't sure. Yes, I did sand the cut edges down to smooth them out. Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted March 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 I had to file down the door clip holes some. Just the part where the clip slides into the smaller hole. Tomorrow I plan on putting the vinyl on the new panels. I think I'm just going to use the felt that's on there. Going for it! Stay tuned.... Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted March 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Got the good vinyl covering off the panels and cleaning them up to put on the new panels Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted March 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Getting it glued down Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted March 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 And they're done. Everything worked out nicely. I used some Goof Off to clean up the 35 years of dirt off the vinyl. If you use it just don't go too far cause the color starts to come off. 4 Quote Link to comment
