Cutting Lexan?

If I cut Lexan on a bandsaw, what is the best way to sand out the cut marks
along the cut line? Sand paper? File? I want to make a new windshield and
the cut edge will be the top of the windshield (open cockpit).

Are you sure you want to use polycarbonate rather than acrylic?

I have a lexan windshield on my Jungster. I used lexan because you can
bend it into 3 panels on a sheet metal break. I found some U shaped
rubber channel to fit over the edge so a real finished edge wasn't
necessary. Lexan, however is very susceptible to scratching and
gasoline is death on it. This is my third windshield due to fuel
spills. It will craze almost instantly if gas touches it. I have since
made some covers to protect it when fueling the wing tank.
