Making and fitting window inserts for Mantua extruded aluminum passenger cars
|
I can easily cut the length and width on my mini table saw. The problem is the corners. What tool can I use to make the tight radius corners? A friend suggested a router. Has anyone overcome this problem? How? What tools did you use??
Filing the corners down by hand is possible, but accuracy and uniformity are hard to achieve with hand tools. Plus doing four corners on each window for a dozen or so cars is a daunting proposition. Thanks for your help. Walter P.S.: I am cross posting this on a few sites. Sorry if that annoys anyone. Please bear with me. |

My apologies , Hobby Lobby has MOD Podge [matte' ] , it works super fine for ''smaller windows in Cabeeses' !!! I apply it using a wooden stick . Toothpick , Kabob spear ?? Get a large portion , come in from back side , or put some smaller amounts on the stick , get the matte' to get onto the window frame . Stir the stick around the edges faster until it begins to fill the widow cavity , then remove the stick . ?? Try till' you get your own way to do it . Dries Christal clear . Hope this helps ?? Henry
