Yeah, I would say that if your oven doesn't get up to at least 375 degrees, then it's time to modify it. At full power, mine gets up to 425 in about 40 minutes, but I crank it down to around 400 with ...

Man, where were you when I was trying to build my machine as a vertical one?!! I wound up sawing it in half and doing the flip-flop version. Laughing

As Freddy Prince Sr. would say... "Looooooo ...

Dude, that is an AWESOME tutroial... nice find!

Welcome to the best vacforming board on the net, Frank! Very Happy

Everyone here is very helpful, so just chime in if you have a question (or answer for that matter).

I noticed you've got a lock-down pro ...

Must be for those formers on the go! Laughing

Wacky...

You know you could always just get clear plastic and add tint to it yourself.

Yep, I've tried a few different ways of DIY tinting, but there's plenty of room for error in doing it that way. Not to ...

I'm looking to vacuform some lenses and other things that require opaque and transparent colors, but haven't been able to find a good source for colored .060 or .080 plastic online.

What I need are ...

I've got a few fingerless KFG hands I could let you have! Laughing

Btw, if you come across a nice bearded AA head, lmk... it's the only one I don't have. Sad

Like TK 109, I have yet to make styrene flambe' either. Very Happy

The trick is to watch your plastic like a hawk while it's heating up. My frame doesn't sit exactly flush with the oven top, so I have ab ...

I've seen people convert a pressure pot from Harbor Freight into a vacuum chamber. From what I've seen it works great for small molds and such, but I don't really know how to modify it. Look around on ...

I have to agree with TK and Cod. The best way to get the plastic off without damaging the wire is letting it melt. It may take a while or even a few melting sessions to get it all, but I don't think d ...
