Before I found the plastics company I would draw my own templates on paper ... or print them on the computer and print them out - paste/glue them onto Xray film and cut the Xray film out and use it for my template. Now you can easily buy template plastic in various stores. Then I had access to free used Xay film. Actually I still have a lot of that left, as I prefer the acryllic templates more.

PM me and I can get you an estimate of the cost if you are interested.

There is template plastic that has 1/4" lines on it if you wanted to attach it to your acrylic plastic triangle. I have found it at our favorite store "Joann's".
