    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...

    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?

    @@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)

Patience is gonna be the most important factor

    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

    Nice one. Suggest if you first have base then fold it 90°perpendicular, then down at 45°then 2" above the bottom at the edge a final -1" 45,° facing up will give it hangibg. You can give a cut at the desired point for charger wire incert. My one question is hot water can't help instead of burner heating?
