Barry, I'm planning to make a 1/3 scale canopy for an Auster A5. The sheet before moulding will be something like 1100x370mm, and the canopy shape is complex. I'm therefore thinking that the need to keep the material soft for long enough to work it around all of the plug former might make the boiling water technique difficult for me.
I wonder if you have any experience of anything of this sort of size, and whether you think that an electric paint stripper (with controllable temperature, of course) would work. |
