I am interested in a new product for covering windows when hurricanes are coming. It is 3/8 in. thick plastic - not solid ...it looks like corrugated cardboard but it's plastic. You can see it at www.storm-stoppers. Anyway, they say cut it with boxcutters. One of my neighbors got a sample and we tried cutting it. It was very, very difficult . Other than that, it is much lighter weight than plywood and I would really like to be able to use it but don't want to spend a lot of money on it without being pretty sure I can cut it. We are all over-the-hill and not too strong...does anyone know of anything, a particular kind of saw blade, that could be used on plastic instead of utility knife or boxcutters. Thanks.
