   Acetone will soften it but you may have to leave it soaking overnight

   too finer blade or too slow feed rate  can be a problem with acrylic maybe a little parawax would help

   sounds like a good idea but no VOC buzz to the household they wouldn't know I was around  ;-)

   No, the problem was that I let the sheet twist into the blade.Rich

   Rich. Acetone and lacquer thinner evaporates very quickly.

    Try to find a shallow baking pan and immerse the blade in the pan with 1/2"of lacquer thinner. Wrap tightly with double layer of aluminum foil and put a flat board and a weight on top . Do this outside of the house and no smoking allowed.  Also placing the plastic coated side of the blade upturned in the 'Soup'  Overnight will loosen all of it.

   Thanks,Since the last message, I have been trying to figure out how I am going to prevent the solvent from evaporating before morning. Actually, I have nothing big enough to put the blade in so that it lies flat. I'll have to get something in the morning.It's good to know that the plastic will disolve.Rich
