I work in a 6th Form College and we do exactly that.We used to do a lot of plastics bending at school, As above a strip heater for tight bends, radius bends use a hot air gun, trick is to move the gun fairly quickly & dont dither in one spot or at the sides or distortion will occur. If you overheat bubbles will form which doesnt look good.
USP College, Palmer's Campus.Which college?
Not a bad call. Only thing is, you need to bring the thing your bending the acrylic around, right next to the oven - as it cools incredibly quickly.Chuck a sample of acrylic in the oven at 160degC I would.
Small world, i worked for Seevic, left just before they tied up with Palmers & became USP! Im glad im not there now.USP College, Palmer's Campus.
