[sdiy] arcrylic panels

[Theo]

Shouldn't it be the same as all other plastic housings?
I've used acrylic sheets but never came across any warnings.
Isn't there the notice "reading these warnings for extended time under less
than optimal light conditions may cause eye problems as been proven in the
state of California"?
If not go sue the bastards ;)

But you may just cut off a piece and heat it up to see what happens.
Better don't use open fire for this, cause then it may indeed catch fire.
A hair dryer maybe a good choice.
This may also be a good opportunity to practice bending and folding the
sheets.
