YY Cube Case botched hole cut

artemis0007 · 02-18-2002, 06:34 PM

Hi all!
Well, I finally started to work on my cube by trying to cut the holes out for the windows using a jigsaw. Well, one hole turned out okay (it's not exactly straight, but it works). But while cutting the other hole, the jigsaw got away from me a little so I ended up cutting out a little chunk that I didn't intend to cut out.

I put the moulding on to see if the rubber would cover up my mistake, but it didn't cover it all.

Soooooo, that's where I need your help!

Could JB weld be used to fill up some of the hole (like 1 - 2 mm)? Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated! I will post pics later.

THANKS!!!!

What size fan hole were you cutting...? You can always go a larger fan size.

It's not a fan hole it's a window hole for the PCMods windows kit.

Sorry no pics yet, I can't find my camera.

Did you cut the whole hole out yet? If not, you could possibly shift a side...

OR:

Go buy some more plexi, use the plexi you have as a template and cut out a new/larger one to make up for your mistake.

yeah, you could just cut out the entire side by another 2mm or 3mm or so, and see how that goes, or you could just put a fan where the hole is
