[QUOTE="ss3079, post: 176625, member: 542009"] It would melt...underheating would make you crack it. You would have a shitty bend if you overheated it...and if you used a heat strip, it would leave an ugly texture on your plexi, right where the bend is...because its starting to melt and touch the material. Couple tips - measure and mark where you want to bend...make sure the plexi is straight across the heat strip, not on an angle...hold the bottom and slowly lift up the top to test if it is warm enough and ready to go...you will be able to tell because it will be real slow going back down and very easy to lift up...then bend over the corner of a counter...making sure it is straight...the marks on the sides of the plexi you pre marked earlier will help you out drastically. I dont know how you would bend 1/2" or bigger plexi on a heat strip... - Steve [/QUOTE]
