    Would anyone know if B&Q or Woodies would stock engraving bits for a Dremel?
    And what grade sandpaper would be best for giving Acrylic/plexi a "frosted" look? Preferably nice and clean and not deep.

    I have got a micro project on the way since I am bored. Not really anything to do with RC but it involves: Plexi, My name, LEDs and Engraving;)

    None. Becuase they were all not exactly doable. But this should be piss-easy since I have the supplys. Just need a new bit for me dremel and some sandpaper :)

    Try very smooth emory cloth with clear plexi. You can get it in motor accserie shops I think.
    I messed up a piece in school by doing that. I could be wrong BTW.
