Thread: Acrylic vs. Lexan

Acrylic vs. Lexan for making scales.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of both?

As noted in another thread today, to much heat weakens Acrylic.

I've only made one set of scales so far and I used Lexan in hopes they would be stronger and more durable. Truth is I had a piece left over from another project. It was a chore hand sanding and shaping the Lexan for sure.

My first attempt at making scales. DD Satinwedge scales had warped and shrunk to where the toe was hitting the wedge.
