Freak'n Scarry discovery

Last night I found my euro brace had cracked. It happened right where the overflow wall touches the bracing. After further investigation it appears the overflow wall is pushing up on the euro bracing.

Now the acrylic that the wall is made of is 5/8ths is there a dremmel bit that will cut that? Any suggestions?

Ai yi yi. Good luck.

Yeah, I'm thinking just a standard dremel cut off disk and a steady hand. Not sure if there's a good one specifically for acrylic.

That does not sound good. A dremmel will cut it, how much are you going to remove? Have a picture? I am pretty sure Acrylic expands a bit when it gets hot. It must of been put in to tight.

I'll try and get a pic tonight.

I'll try the Dremmel hopefully it will work. Strange how it has happend almost 3 years after I set it up though

Pictures ? How are you planning to repair it? I've never had any luck with acrylic and dremels, trying a variety of different tools. If it starts melting, you get stuck in that one spot

I'm not even sure a demmel will get in there. I may just use a hacksaw
