    • You can use it for a windshield for sure as long as you have a way to mount it down

    • Just search youtube. The key is to heat the glass evenly at the same time, otherwise it will likely crack. Also the temperature is much higher so you need professional gear.

  • My heat gun has attchments that can narrow the heat gun area to a more concentrated region, may help with tighter bends if no mould is available?

    • I would recommend using a form if you can, you will get a more reproducible result

  • I have a piece that has a bend I want to unbend it to make it straight. Is that possible?

    • Given HOW the plastic bends (stretching one side and compressing the other), likely not with a nice smooth outcome.

  • IS PLEXIGLASS HEAT TOLLORANCE?

    @JUNEORJUNE@JUNEORJUNE6 жыл бұрын

    • JUNEORJUNE yes - no discernible change in color or translucency (other than caused by the flexing of the material)

  • Can a hair blower do the job as well?

    @stephenportilla9244@stephenportilla92442 жыл бұрын

    • I don't think hair blower would do it seems like an he is using industrial heat gun

      @georgecarlinn6288@georgecarlinn62882 жыл бұрын

    • you need 160°C. a common hair blower won't make that

  • That's still not wide enough to worry about even heat across the bend. It might take a length of copper tube with that heat fed in.

  • Hi, It will work with hair dryer?

    • I dont think a hair dryer will be hot enough.

      @Rothew1@Rothew12 жыл бұрын

    • They really aren’t designed to get this hot. That isn’t an expensive heat gun (Harbor Freight) but note how much thicker it is then a regular hair dryer. Also, it get VERY hot after a bit.

    • Janis Rough - it might be difficult unless you have the glass as a pattern. I would imagine you could bend a sheet of plexiglass the same width as the window directly on the window and then trace the borders. I just don't know if it would adhere to the glass at all. I suspect not, but it would be a disaster if it did.
