Drape forming new windscreens

[freerangequark]

Drape forming acrylic sheets at one of my plastic vendors, A&E Plastics Inc.

These will become new windscreens for the Marquart Charger.

I had to find someone with an oven large enough to heat up the 24" x 48" sheet of 3/16 acrylic.

Here is the article on how to do it.

We used 100% smooth cotton fleece over the formica form that I built.
