Does any body know how to remove an acrylic panel? I need to move a panel in my sump. I guess I can use the dremel and cut it off. Only problem is the acrylic melts not cut when you cut it. Any other suggestion?

I shoot lasers from my eyes to cut it. I can do glass too, but not if it's tempered! :P

That's great news Erik.

If you don't have a rotozip handy you could use a simple hacksaw blade without the hacksaw. If you use masking tape over the area you are trying to cut with the dremel, it will usually prevent the acrylic from flowing back into place after the tool passes through it. Might try it.

If the hack saw or dremel don't work, Erik are your laser eyes available this weekend?

:hypnotyized::hypnotyized::hypnotyized:Call me and we can setup some mirrors so I can shoot the lasers to your house from the comfort of my home.:hypnotyized::hypnotyized::hypnotyized:

Thanks for having a sense of humor :)
