Caution
Heat the HPDE sheet on a heat resistant surface. Use heat resistant
gloves to handle the Upper/Lower Frame Assembly
Evenly heat the HDPE sheet using the oven or heat gun until the
sheet droops and its transparency changes from its original slightly
white colour to transparent.
Turn off the heat gun/oven.
Step 5
Note
For best results ensure that the object that is to be molded is warm.
Quickly place the Upper/Lower Frame Assembly over the top of the
Vacuum Box Assembly and lower the frame down over the object to
be molded.
Turn on the vacuum and operate it until the HDPE plastic is tightly
molded onto the object, typically only a few seconds.
Turn off the vacuum.
Remove the molded object from the HDPE plastic.
