RE: Vacuum form a clear canopy!
Dion. From the looks of your plastic frame and fasteners, we might have read the same book.
This was my first attempt at vacuum forming. The task was a challenge, but the results were gratifying. I glued up the flat pieces, turned it upside down, filled it with plaster, shaped the "dome" and pulled the plastic. Instead of molding the frame into the canopy, I pulled two canopies, cut out the "windows" in one, painted it and glued it in place.
