I have found a powder coating guy that said he would let me try my plexiglass project in his oven. So that may be the best way for me to go. I am doing more than just bending the forward edge of the plexiglass. I am trying to put a bulge in the center of the entire piece, which will be about 35" square. The two side edges will have a curve to match the upper surface of the wing. The front and rear edges will have a very slight curve to match the piece of wood that goes horizontally across the top of the cross tubes of the fuselage. Then, aside from those curves along the edges, I want to blow a bulge across the entire middle area that extends upward between 2 & 3 inches. It sounds like some very interesting info in the book that was mentioned. I will have to investigate the various temperatures mentioned. Anything I can do that reduces the chance of ruining a piece of this plexiglass will be well worth the time and effort. Thanks for all the great ideas.
