Lexan grips?

[mag-owner]

has anyone tried this before? that is, making their own grips out of lexan? does anyone have any experience with cutting/trimming lexan? ive been wanting to do this for a while, but i never got to it because ive been too lazy to buy more attachments for my dremel.....

[Chaos_Theory!]

Ive seena ton of people make grips from lexan. Its a pretty simple and straight forward thing to do really.

Atach has a few. Should be durable enough to try.

It's not terribly difficult.



Built the Pump Handle (Well , the whole undercocking kit) as well....



Here's some green on another style pump kit of mine...

FYI , wouldn't use a dremel.

Your just going to make a melted re-welded mess. You need to cut it at slow speed preferably using some kind of lubricant.

You should offer this as a service?

Face it Bread, you are never getting your grip! You need to take off that "screw me" sign you wear!!

lol oh yea i forgot its plastic. what tools did you use to round off the edges? i was told i could use woodworking tools. the only experience ive had with lexan is with r/c bodies so any help would be great

You can cut it with pretty much anything. Those on the Phantom are actually faceted around the edges. I cut them out on the mill.

After you cut them how you want to , just sand the cuts smooth working your way up to say 5-600 grit sand paper and finish it off with polishing compound. Clear coat car scratch remover and a thick soft cloth rag will work well too.
