So, I hate such short posts, but lemme get to the point! Is plexiglass vaccum formable?

maybe, you would have to get it very hot to form it tho, over 300 degrees i think

Not really practical, you'd have to heat it up quite a lot, and draw one heck of a vacuum. Much easier to just heaat up one section and bend it.

I wonder if shorting 120vAC could give me the heat reaquired. >_> <_<
Or I could use my four soldering irons all around the metal tray!
