HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I have a few lures(swimbaits) that need the lexan lip replaced, as well as a few blanks that need lips installed. I'm wondering what are my options for cutting and shaping the lexan? I don't own a bandsaw. Thanks in advance for your assistance Quote
whittler Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Lexan can be cut with a pair of kitchen shears or tin snips very easily. After cutting to rough shape then use a file or sanding block to trim to your final shape. A disc sander and bandsaw can really speed up the process but if you only need a few lips simple handtools will get the job done. Quote
