2. The actual Cutting

The best thing to use for cutting is a angle grinder with a cutting wheel. Start cutting along the edges described above.

Cutting Alternatives: razor blade, electric saw with a fine blade, sawzall, Dremel tool w/ cutting wheel

CAUTION: Wair safety goggles while cutting

3. Fisnishing edges with Sandpaper

After cutting get some 150 sand paper, rap it around a flat block of wood, and sand it down untill it looks to your likings.

Finishing Up - Perfect Round Edges

Some possibilities:

A. Take a torch or a heat gun, heat the edge (s) you've cut. By heating it up a little you'll see the edges start to round and bring back its royal color. It makes for a really nice, clean and professional, factory looking round edges.

CAUTION:
- Don't let the flame and plastic touch or an ugly black smear of soot will appear.
- Dont heat on one spot to long though.

B. Use fine grid (1000) sandpaper to smooth out the edges

C. Use a Dremel with a sanding wheel on it.

D. Use a die grinder with a 3M pad to smooth it out
