Default RE: VACUUM FORMING IDEAS

Well guys,
gave it a try again pulling a canopy. I made a table like the one at the beginning of this forum. Then I heated my plastic in the oven until it was just starting to sag, took if out and put it over the form, and presto, perfect canopy. I like it so much I decided to make another one. The second one I let sag a inch and darn if I didn't get folds in it so I tried a third time. Just as it started to sag, I took it out and it sucked down perfect. I was getting the plastic to hot and letting it sag to much. Thanks guys, without your help I be without a canopy for my Jemco Hellcat.
