Vacuum Forming

The vikings needed new canopy as the original was thick & blurry - blocking out the cockpit details. Hence I need to make my own canopies.

 

The setup consist of:

1. Vacuum Pump from a brake bleeding kit. It didn't bleed my motorcycle brake well :(

2. A forming "table" made from tupperware.

3. Female mold of the original made with RTV silicone.

4. A frame to hold the hot plastic.

5. A toaster oven.
