What did the company use for a buck to heat form your windshield? Any idea what temp is required?


I feel there's going to be a project going to make the buck!!! Over radius the buck slightly to allow for some spring back.

For large curve bending, I've seen quartz IR heaters used by the plastics fabricators. Experiment on scrap and time the heat up.




like I need any more projects... BUT.... I cant find a windshield for the Higgins. And, I do have a spare IR heater... hhhmmmmm

   One of our vendors has an oven to thermal-form solid surface material. not sure its big enough tho.

25" plus the splash. Should be big enough to do one end at a time!
