Cut it myself on a table saw, and I used weldon #3. However I'm going to try some Methylene Chloride here soon and see if it makes a difference. The weldon kind of bubbles some times and I heard that the Methylene does not.
It evaporates so quickly and you only want to get it in your seem, anywhere else and you'll muck up your plexiglass. Then you got to sand it out and buff out the scratches. Not fun.
Understood, but how exactly are you applying the weldon? Thanks in advance.It evaporates so quickly and you only want to get it in your seem, anywhere else and you'll muck up your plexiglass. Then you got to sand it out and buff out the scratches. Not fun.
It's a special aplicator bottle. It has a 22 gauge needle at the end.
I plan to start sales here in Canada soon. I'll probably keep these ones and start making more once I test out the new glue. It would be more of a hobby and I'd keep my day job. For now.
They wouldn't come flame polished then. Only hand polished. Doesn't look bad but it's not the same. I don't flame polish until its put together.
I don't have a problem with assembling things, but maybe most people would want them ready made. Kits typically don't include glue or applicators. The customer buys them separately. The flame polishing might present a problem for me. I don't own a blow torch.
See you have to take off the plastic or paper that protects the plexi in order to flame polish. So it's that much more likely to be damaged or scratched when shipping. So I highly doubt that kens are flame polished. His cages are definitely neat and look really easy to put together. I don't agree with his idea on vents, and I personally don't like the orientation of the ventilation holes, but each to their own. I don't have the tools to cut out a tongue and groove like concept yet, however if I do design it, it will not be with a wider base and top, I don't particularly like the look of that. But then again these cages aren't for me are they.
