Howdy DIY -

Interested in DIY Thermoforming/vacuum forming.

Saw a thread here a few nights ago and it got me thinking.

Anyone have experience or knowledge on the subject that you could lend?

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 19 07:16:06 2012 No.355990 Mostly what goes into making them. What materials work best and where to get them. I've been recycling a bunch of HDPE #2 milk jugs at the moment.

>>	You again Anonymous Thu Dec 20 18:34:58 2012 No.356992 >>355990 How the hell are you goin to faltten those jugs back to a usable sheet for thermoforming ?
