Hello, I ordered a sheet of PVC plastic from taobao but I actually need it a bit smaller. Is there any shop on Kowloon side where I can go to get it cut in half?
Thanks

I know 2 shops in Mongkok/Prince Edwards that sell sheets - and can cut them too. Signmakers can cut it too. Or I guess woodshops can, not sure a wood blade can cut PVC though (if I had to guess I would say it can)
I honestly don't know the difference between pvc and pmma plastic. I ordered a pvc plastic sheet for a hockey mat so my ice hockey stick were won't scratch the concrete when I'm doing some outdoor practice.
I ordered a large but I actually don't need it to be so big so I want to cut it in half.
Since PVC tends to be softer than Acrylic/Plexiglas/Perspex, the scribe-break method ought to work for a relatively cleaner cut. You'll need East_coast's utility knife and a hard straight edge to run the blade against. Locking down the straight edge will permit consistently making the score/scribe in the exact spot to deepen the cut and achieve a successful break:
Might want to initially test this method on a smaller, unwanted half of that board.
