How do you drill holes in Plexiglas?
You can use the same drill you use for drilling metal.

The way to drill without no chip-out is to sandwich the Plexiglas between two pieces of wood. TIP: make sure the Plexiglas is held tight between the 2 pieces of wood when drilling.

Is the part above the wood on an NHL hockey rink made of glass or plastic?
There are two types of glass: Tempered glass - The sides of the rink (as well as the team benches and penalty boxes) are lined with seamless, tempered glass. Tempering is an annealing process, involving successive heating and cooling, and makes glass harder and less brittle. Plexiglas - The ends of the rink are lined with Plexiglas -- acrylic plastic sheets. The Plexiglas sheets are fitted together with supports that are mounted on the outside…
What type of adhesive works best to glue plexiglas?
Plexiglas has it's own proprietary adhesives. Most are essentially plexiglas melted in a liquid such as Methyl ethyl ketone. -Used properly this melts the edges together, -the smoother the cut edge, the better your joint will be. I smooth my edges on a planer. Adhesives for different uses with Plexiglass are IPS Weld On #4, #10 and #16. -Many of these are available in local plastics stores.

How do you install a portable air conditioner into a casement window?
There are no portable air conditioner units with a window kit that will work for a casement window. Some customers have fashioned a solution using plexiglas to cover their entire window area and then have a small hole cut into the plexiglas for the hot air discharge hose. No solution is provided "out of the box" but some customers have fashioned their own.
Can a portable air conditioner be vented through a fireplace flu and chimney?
Yes, this is a great way to exhaust a single hose portable air conditioner. You would simply need to adapt the hose connections to the front of your fireplace. I have seen an installation where the front of the fireplace was sealed with a piece of plexiglas. The plexiglas had been custom cut to fit the portable AC's fittings.
