Polycarbonate Bending with Heat Gun

can you use a butane torch?

@johnshepherd2011  Be careful with butane, it can cause the surface to bubble, if you get too close.

Thanks very much! I've now made myself a ripper of a wind screen for my adventure bike. You gave simple and informative instructions, great video!

Do you know if lexan is harder to bend than acrylic?

I'm looking for a clear plastic that does not bend under 160 degrees.

Acrylic started to bend at 130 when it was under tension.

I need the plastic to be flat again so I can reuse it.

I guess I could buy a piece for 5 bucks and try it.

Thanks
