How does it work?
- You begin by creating a form that the plastic will wrap around.
- You place the form beneath a sheet of plastic and begin heating the plastic.
- Once the plastic is pliable, you will place the plastic on top of the form and pull a vacuum so that the plastic wraps tightly around the form.
- Then you remove the plastic from the form and trim it to the desired shape.
