Default Windshield Fabrication

I just received my PICA 1/6th scale WACO from Quantum Hobbies. Unlike the the 1/5th scale PICA WACO which I fly quite often, you get a flat piece of 3" x 5.5" x 0.030" butyrate plastic and a template for the windshield. I called PICA and they said to use a hair dryer or heat gun to soften then bend as desired. Has anyone ever tried this? I picture the entire piece getting soft with no definite bend. Any suggestions? I'm in no hurry as this is a winter time project and I'm still busy with my Aeromaster 60.
