For those who made their own clear/tails

what did you guys use to cut the fluorescent light cover? i've tried scissors and plyers but they keep on breaking the material. Any suggestions besides a dremel?

Thanks

soldering gun. Be very careful and you'll have to sand down the edges.

I used scissors. Just heat up the material a little, and it won't be so brittle.
