[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 101204, member: 1523"] Did you see the show on the history or discovery channel about the german flying wing? They made a wooden form and then heated the plexiglass in an oven for even heating and laid it over the form. Very simple and effective, the guys just used welding gloves to handle the material and it set up in a couple seconds... I wouldn't use a heat gun or torch, been there and made bubbles when it got too hot locally. Figure you could make a form out of some luann or sheet metal stapled to backer boards in the form you want. Heat the panels in a regular oven if it's big enough and drape it over the form. I'm thinking about doing something similiar for the center concole on my boat since we were dodging bugs running downriver last Friday evening at 40mph. Jamie [/QUOTE]
