    Cool A question Concerning Acrylic

    Hello, everyone! Not sure if this question should be in this thread, but I will post anyway. I wanted to know if anyone knew and easy way of making the edges of acrylic sheet look like chipped or cracked ice effect. I have seen awards and other designs done, and it appears very elegant and very nice. I have used an angle grinder with some success, but didnt know if there was a better way to approach it. I am using 1/4" acrylic, so if anyone knows a good technique, please share it with me. Thanks!

    A grinder or a roto tool with a burr on it and then flame kiss it on the edges. That should give it the ice effect.
