[QUOTE="ASDF12345, post: 180262, member: 545961"] bending plexi is very hard. especially since yours will have to be thick. firs preheat your oven to 300 degrees. get some tinfoil and cover it with pam. then lay the plexy on top of the tinfoil and put it on top a jig made from Preferably some kind of stone or cement. put that on top of a baking pan. then throw it in the oven. you need to bake it for a good 15 hours on like 315 degrees to even get it tender. then crank it up to 350 and let it sit for another 6 hours to get all the H2O out of the plexi so it doesnt bubble up.then you should have some semi flexible clear plexi glass. if the gravity hasnt started to push the top part down onto the right angle jig to for the bend then get some high heat gloves and push it. then crank up the heata little and push it. then repeat untill its bended. take the temp down gradually over like a two hour span. let it sit overnight causeit will be brittle untill its completely cooleddown. then sand the edges down so it fits correctly if you need too and it should be fine. note: if you use thinner glass, it will be much easier, less time, less heat.
