- | 2- The big/" | + | Usage: |
+ | Cut a rectangle of styrene from the roll we have to fit the frame. Staple it to the frame and cut the edges to fit. Hammering the staples in helps a bit. Put the frame in the [[Oven]] at 300-ish degrees until the plastic starts to sag. Turn on the vacuum, pull the frame from the oven (wear gloves!), flip it over, place over the buck(object to be formed) and hold it down. Your object will cool down and be formed pretty quickly. | ||
