This is good info to have.

Suppose you want to make an undertray for your car, but a few objects extend below the horizontal plane of the rocker panels. With a teardrop-shaped plywood template and a heat gun, you could easily make aerodynamic blisters in the Coroplast to fair the airflow past the obstructions. This could speed the fabrication process a lot.

How much "give" or malleability would a Coroplast sheet have, when properly heated? In other words, if you needed to make an aero blister 2 inches deep, 4 inches wide, and 12 inches long, would the Coroplast have that much elasticity when heated?
