Thanks for the welcome home Kevin. Good to be home. Looking forward to your build.
Had some time to spend on this build. I am thinking of making my own canopy. So I tested this old plug that I made. I needed to know how the finished surface handled the heat. Also the foam. The unsurfaced foam did not hold up, which I figured it would not. But the finished surface held up well. I tried this using the plastic bottle technique.
For the canopy I will do a vacuum pull on the plug. I need to make a small foam cutter for shaping the foam and also a vacuum box. First I need to find out if I can purchase PET-G plastic at a local plastics store. This will be an interesting project.
