Brother Veich: Amen to the thank you's!!! Well done. Have always wondered about how to do this at home. Questions: 1. have you tried this method with clear plastic (for canopies). 2. Do you add to the bottom of the plug to give extra material for cutting and finishing of the formed part? 3. Do you lubricate the plug to ease the sliding during forming, if so, with what? Regards.
