Does anyone have any experience using Sintra plastic in cage fabrication? Sintra is an expanded PVC plastic sheet. I've been told that you can cut it and rout it with woodworking tools, as well as glue it and screw it. It's lighter than plywood and comes in various thicknesses and colors. I looked at some samples at a local plastic fabricating shop, and the stuff looks very similar to the material on my Boaphile Plastics cages. It prices out very reasonably. A custom cage out of black Sintra, 36x18x12 with a drop down acrylic front door would cost me less than 50 bucks in materials. I'm seeing all positives using this plastic, but if anyone has experienced less than satisfactory results, I'd like to hear about it....thanks in advance.
