Makrolon Bending Temps
Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 5:55 pm
Hi, my dad has some makrolon lying around (about 3-4mm thick) that I want to use to make a rifle stock cheek piece. This means bending it over the current stock which is quite a tight radius (approx 1.5").
What is the right temperature for bending the makrolon? And will this bend ok?
The alternative is some 2-3mm makrolon which would bend easier but not as strong.
I was planning on making a mould out of wood then putting it in the oven slowly building up the heat and once formed slowly bringing it down again.
