Words of advice for Lexan? Making a Kammback
Does anyone have any words of advice for working with Lexan? I am wanting to make a rounded kammback and thought transparent lexan might be a good choice. My plan is to make a complete mold for it out of wood. This way I can ensure it is vurturally perfect. Next, I would center the lexan in the desired spot, then with a heat gun, slowly let the lexan drop into place. I envision this creating the identical curvature of my mold making it virtually perfect for maximum efficiency. After it has formed and cooled, I would then carefully cut it to the needed size, add mounting hardware and brackets and possibly tint. What are everyone thoughts? Is using something transparent like lexan a pipe dream of overly complicated? Should I just abort and make with ABS plastic or another durable material. Thank in advance.
