davysmodels Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Hello Jairus, Thank you for the article on How-To make a Vacuum Former. I am ready to finally build the VF. I would appreciate knowing what thickness plastic and brand (Evergreen, Plastruct,......) you used for the Chevy fender. I also need to replicate some fenders and a hood. Appreciate your reply. Thank you, Davys
Jairus Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Butyrate for windshields and styrene for body parts. I usually stay with .015 thickness for all as a starting place. Thicker for more structure and thinner for more detail. Good luck... but it really is very easy once you get the hang of it! Jairus
