For complex shapes you can place acrylic sheet in boiling water to soften the whole thing evenly and not have to hold it while heating, then drop the softened sheet over a mold that has the shape you want.

Love the acrylic bending technique. I was making a clear miniature podium for a puppet music video and was going to cut all the pieces then glue them with the medium Hot Stuff glue. but after watching your video I think I will bend the sides and the front to hold the top angled piece after I glue it. Sounds good and might make a better miniature podium. Will show you the results in the future. Thanks for sharing...

That was awesome. Thank you for the demonstration. Have you ever tried to bend an enclosed circle with bends on both sides, ie. walls?

I use a hot air rework station for my heat source, kind of like a heat gun but it can get much hotter. But there is a bunch of great info here, and I like how you use pieces of wood to act like a jig to make bends easier.

@CB27 3 года назад

Thanks for a great video. What is the minimum bend radius achievable with 90° bends? Is 3-4mm achievable with 3mm thick acrylic? I want to make a tin foil roll holder to mount on the inside of a kitchen cupbard door. Space is a bit tight so debating whether to cut 4 pieces and glue them together or form the rectangle by starting with a long strip and putting 4 bends in it

@gerbendenheeten6905 2 года назад

Great tutorial! Question, I want to bend thin acrylic (like 3-4mm) , should I warm that up just a bit, or just as long as the thicker one? Also, what is the heat 'curing' time, I mean how long can you wait with the bending, after heating?

@ChrisLocke1969 5 лет назад

Try a hot air gun... no burns, no blackening, very little boiling. Also, always heat both sides.

@GrizzG13 4 года назад

Chris Locke heat guns kick out a substantial amount of directed heat, and they generally always have a High and Low setting. Do you have a recommended safe distance to avoid scorching?

@ChrisLocke1969 4 года назад

@@GrizzG13 with patience, its more about the movement of the piece than amount of heat... you can't just hold a piece over the heat, yes, that'll scorch it in seconds. I evenly wave the line on the piece that I want to bend, over the stationary heat gun, flipping the piece over every 3 or 4 passes, and soon the piece will start to bend on its own in general along the intended bend line, and I know its soft enough to remove from heat and bend with tools (I use flange pliers, or for large pieces just two blocks of wood to bend pieces)

@GrizzG13 4 года назад

@@ChrisLocke1969 excellent. That's actually very helpful info. I'm starting a project that's going to require a lot of bent acrylic. My only real experience with heat guns and clear plastics before this has been from trying to recondition beat up head lights. I do believe you're right though. Patience is gonna be the most important factor

@ChrisLocke1969 4 года назад

@@GrizzG13 if you're looking for perfectly square/tight angles, make yourself jigs as necessary. One other important tip... as soon as i have the shape i want, i spray the piece with water, and it locks in place instantly. Good luck with your projects! 👍

@GrizzG13 4 года назад

@@ChrisLocke1969 good to know! I was wondering if water would cause a stress differential and make the bend brittle or weak. I'll be sure to do that. Thanks for your help! 😁
