Anyway, Where can I find an electric grill? For vacum molding.

i couldnt find a rectangular one so i had my mom pick one up at a walmart near were she worked (since there are none near were i live) i just had to think about how i would mount it a little differently
if you cant get one at wal,art check out target or home depot i didnt have much luck at lowes though. any heating element will work as long as its big enough

Yeah, the only ones I've been able to find are usually circular, or a george forman grill. As much as i want to make a TH's Lean Mean Plastic Molding Machine, I don't think it'll get hot enough...

the round ones are fine just screw on some other peices of wood across the 19 ince part above, so that you can mount it then just screw it right into that wood

Would something like this work?

i dont think it would unless you could find a way to expose some coils inside it

Yeah, I might just make a metal rectangular hood (radio flyer, anyone?) and steal some coils from the old kitchen appliences from junk shops across the city...

I was planning on making a vacuum forming mchine, but I don't have the money or patience.
