help with making a glovebox
    #5376623 - 03/08/06 04:50 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

heya guys

i have all the materials to make my glovebox. plastic box with see-through lid, rubber gloves, cut-pff pvc drainpipe peices, metal ring strap/clamp thingys.

i was wondering how to cut the holes in the side of the box for the pvs rings to fit into. i was thinking with a hot knife, but there is always a chance it would be too hot and just melt the plastic.
which is the best way to cut a nice clean hole for a good fit?

thanks alot

*should i move this to the boxes section?

a blow dryer set on hi
can soften the plastic alot, making cutting it easier.
of course you can't beat a dremel...

I used a paint stripper to heat the plastic and a utility knife with a new blade to cut it. It worked very well.


Just cut on the inside of your hole first then its really easy to to shave the sides of the hole to a perfect fit.

Like hippie3 said, you gotta heat it tho. Otherwise it's dangerous and you will ruin your box.

I use a woodburner/soldering iron to cut holes in plastic.
