what are OSB? MDF is way more than I need if I get it for $20, they give me like 6'x4' or something close.

I do believe that you can get 2'x4' sheets at Home Depot, in fact, that's all they have at the Home Depot by my house.

A plexiglass cutting recomendation. Plexiglass is designed to score and break, and it's much easier that way, unless you have compound curves to cut in. All you need is a utility knife and a straight edge. It also grinds well to take off edges and round corners.

Does anyone know if the wal mart scosche accumat is asphalt based?

Plexiglass cut just fine for me with a jigsaw, I just made sure each side of the glass I was cutting was held down good and didn't flex. And as for the walmart stuff, I know nothing about it, but I wouldn't buy it if I were you, I'm sure it's pretty horrible.

I used a table saw. It smells weird when you cut it though.

Second Skin would be a better deadner than the Accumatt.

Its probably cheaper too

Asphalt = stinky
