I have two projects that im doing for an upcoming scrollsaw event here in Australia that im using plexi as a backing.
One of the pieces is a small natural edge piece of red mallee burl and the other is a oval shape that was cut on some rosewood.
I know its best to cut the plexi with the paper still on, but that presents an issue for getting the plexi to exactly match the front pieces edge.
I see my options as:
1. Remove the paper and adhere the plexi to the front piece and then slowly cut around the edge so they match.
2. Trace around the edge onto the paper and slowly cut out, then adhere to the front piece. Any deviation from the line may stand out in this case.
So, any thoughts on what the best approach would be?
