Yes, I used a razor blade housed in a utility knife. The inner plastic is pretty easy to cut. To make it even easier you could take a hair dryer and slighty warm up the plastic before cutting. The just use the clear silicone sealant to take up the uneven spaces on the inner window plexiglass.

---

Mine had this on the inside back. I just used a flat head screw driver and pried it off. Then go back over the holes with the aluminum tape.

Yes, and then just covered the holes with the aluminum tape.

I'm a long way off from having the need for an incubator, but I currently have in my possession a LARGE drink fridge. The kind that they have at stores that have all of the soda and iced tea in them. Does anyone have a reason NOT to use something of that sort? As far as I know it's broken and we got it for free.

I would never have thought to use a hair dryer to make the plastic softer b4 cutting the plastic!!!

Cueball you're awesome!!! :w00t: :number1:

So it worked well without a fan?

Never mind went back through the thread and found you already answered the question :rolleye2:
