<\/a>The\u00a0 process for the rear windows is about first getting close to the scribe line with a Dremel tool. Then using 120 grit sanding belt before hand shaving closer with 220 and polishing\/rounding the edges with 320 grit.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This week was about finishing the rear windows and starting on the windscreen. The\u00a0 process for the rear windows is about first getting close to the scribe line with a Dremel tool.

Everything else is by hand.<\/p>\n<\/a>When talking about ‘by hand’, I mean hours of edge sanding with 80 grit paper on a Great Planes sanding block. Going through Lexan this thick takes time.
