ALCON: That is exactly the way I did it for a hovercraft I built some years ago; heating up the oven in the kitchen.
BTW, I just signed up for this krnet, and it keeps me thinking all the time.

You can easily form Acrylic ( PlexiGlas ) in an over over a mold. About 220 degrees will do it. Lay it over a mold of the shape you want with a piece of billiard table qauality felt between it and the mold. After it has assumed the shape, let it cool totally, and then heat it to about 180 for around an hour. You should be good to go. Dan. E-mail me off net at [email protected] if you have any questions. By the way, it think this is ON Topic.

The windows will be about 11x17 with a slight curve on one edge. What is the best way to form this plexi (1/8 inch). I have heard of forming it in an oven but not sure of the procedure. Will it work the same with lexan? Can someone help or refer me to the proper source?
