Re: Lexan heating strip / tape

Quote:
You can also bend lexan in a sheet metal break as long as you don't need more than a 90 degree bend. We did that for all of our shielding last year and it is still doing its job just fine as it sits in the corner of the shop. Everything we used was 1/8 inch material, thicker might be tougher but could still work...
How well did this work? Did you have to heat the material at all or do anything special before hand?
