First off, I'd like to say howdy to everyone here. I'm about to undergo my first crack at casting. I made a homemade table powered by a 5.5hp shopvac. I have my molds all made and ready, and I just picked up my material today. It's 22x19 .125 HIS, and I was wondering:

1. Will my rig have enough muscle to suck that thick of styrene? Or are there more factors involved?

2. About what general temperature should I need to soften it? I hear you're supposed to wait until it sags around the edges of your frame/whatever you're holding it with?

Okay that's four questions... Anyways, thanks for any feedback I get! If I can't do this with what I have, I know a place that can do it for me, but I wanna try it myself. That's why I ask now instead of before I got everything.
