If you are willing to work at it a little while you can do it with sandpaper. Start with a coarse 40 grit or even a coarse file and round the corners to about the shape you want then fine paper to smooth it off.
You may wish to smooth the edges and round them over just a little as well but get far over onto the face or that will scratch. ----- Original Message ----- From: Betsy Whitney To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 24, 2009 5:42 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] New carpet: chair mat solution needed I'm still working on this solution. I thought the plexiglass was a great idea, but the price, if I want rounded corners is outragious. Perhaps I can round them myself. Any suggestions about how to round them without cracking the material? Betsy At 05:48 PM 7/24/2009, you wrote: > > >Before the days of flexible chair mats we used 1/4 in plexiglass.
