How to make a boat windscreen out of acrylic

Watch us making a new windscreen for a Glastron Carlson CVX16 out of acrylic.
For all of you who complain about the price:
beside the price of the material, the investment of the oven, the knowledge and expirience - there are still around 6 hours of work going in to each of those - so do the math yourself.

awesome demo

[@bartdaw6681]

Very nice work!

[@philrazzi7782]

What is the white plastic that you put on the mold?

[@L2fish]

A friend who used to work at an airport said they would encase the acrylic in black plastic and put it on the asphalt in the sun. Would bend like wet spaghetti

[@calebwimberg1904]

I need one made for my custom boat please

[@ebasguy]

Is that a GW Invader in the back!?

[@ohUredneck]

What temperature do you bring your oven up to? ..and how long do you leave it in there?

[@jessejohnson159]

Consult the seller of the acrylic you're purchasing. They can give you the range to go for considering the thickness and the other attributes of the acrylic for your application.

@@jessejohnson159 Home Depot?

[@jessejohnson159]

@@onjofilms What kind of question is: "Home Depot? If you're going to Home Depot to buy acrylic then you are on your own. They sell building products where the purchaser must know if the product will suit the purpose they are buying it for! If you find a 'local' business that is in the business of selling plastics of all kinds, there you will get people with the needed info you can use. I travel about 60 miles, to Denver, to find plastic specialty sellers. When I lived in Houston many years ago, the sellers were still 60 miles away but they were in town! Too many places that were local are now out of business. And, thankfully, KZbin does offer videos on shaping all kinds of plastics and there are books available!

We are in Florida doing this - being that the one doing most of it is an artist, I can see that there is no one right way to do it- just curious, what material are you using for your mold?

[@onjofilms]

They have hired a lawyer and aren't speaking to any one.

Where are yall located

[@majidpontiac5584]

Whats the boats model behind u? I have that boat but i don't know what it is!

[@AmericanRunabouts]

It is a GW- Invader 10'. Check out my other videos to see the restoration

[@grantdubridge7995]

My GT 160 needs a new piece of plastic but I don't think I am going to buy that oven for one windshield.

[@whoanelly737-8]

👍

[@mukans]

What saw blade did you use? For metal? Im going to make my self windscreen for my moped

[@elmeradams8781]

Any blade will cut it. But to small of teeth and it will melt through it. Too big and the cut won't look good.

2:40 Wife aint gona be happy...

[@carol9634]

This doesn't tell anything about how to make it

[@joyfulpreterist7532]

Well how about a bit of commentary instead of speeded up actions where it was hard to see what was been done.

too hot
