Re: [DIY] Plastic ceiling panels

 

Yes, that's basically the same way we cut curves on glass.  The tool has a tiny roller cutter at one end and you set the depth adjustment.  The small size and ability to swivel is why it works so well on glass.  We tape the line and score both sides.

Hi. These are 2 x 4 panels that are plexiplastic and have "ice" type designs on them. They are flat and flexible. Meantime, yesterday I went to Home Depot and a lady there who seemed to be the only one who knows, helped me figure it out. I just cut one panel, but not all the way, today, and her advice worked. I also bought the cutter specially designed to go through that stuff. Of course, it doesn't go through all the way, I have to keep scoring it, but it works much better than a utility knife. She said, and I followed her directions, to take painter's tape and line each side of the cutting line, leaving a little space for me to score in between. I did that and eventually i was able to cut through with a scissors without it breaking. Finally! Now all I have to do is the curves, so I hope the same technique works. I am only guessing here, but I suppose with a glass cutter, I'd also have to keep scoring.
