Re: Blue Panther Plastic sets

Hello: 

The Blue Panther plastic piecepack sets have a white core with a color layer 
on either side.  The backs are all the same color (sky blue) and the fronts 
are not visible when the backs are turned face up.  These parts are laser 
engraved and we trace a very slightly larger line first to burn off the 
color layer around the edge of the piece, then cut the pieces with a second 
pass.  This has the effect of leaving the tops with a thin white "edge" all 
around the fronts.    The edges are smooth, but the plastic can also be 
sanded with fine (220 grit or higher) sandpaper if you want to further 
refine the edges.
