Ronnie,
there is a finishing technique when working with plexiglass that may work on
Lexan.
Flame-polishing is simply just taking a Home Depot propane torch and passing
it over the rough cut edge. The warming flash-melts the plexi, making it
all flow back into the bandsaw cuts, resulting in a really smooth, shiny
surface. (NO SANDING!!) As your material gets thicker (and more heat
resistant, which Lexan might/probably be) the timing of how fast/slow you
pass by is touchy. Try it on the cut off excess first, I'd suggest.
I'll be trying it sometime this winter, as I am thinking of making my
hardtop rear window a split version, with the bottom half open-able.
Good luck,
Fergus
