Heating acrylic sheet.
Heating acrylic sheet.
(OP)
Can anyone advise the most efficient method of heating acrylic sheet for forming windscreens?
I have heard that electric, bar type heaters of the room heater type are used but isn't there something like the frequency of the radiation to be considered? If the radiation was the right frequency, the sheet would absorb it instead of passing through.
Thanks, Gyro.

For fully moulded profiles, they use a large, but convenctional oven to evenly heat the whole sheet.
I don't know of anyone who uses specific wavelength radiation to heat large sheets of acrylic

That is a different idea!
How do you handle it with that hot oil on it?
What sort of oil is used, vegetable or mineral?
