who here in town can bend plexi-glass?

[bananags]

I am building an over flow for my new 125 gal tank set up

I need help to bend a 24" x 12" plexi-glass (just 1 fold, nothing complex)

I read up on heat gun and heat strip methods ..etc., but I just need to bend 1 corner, not sure if it worth the trouble buying a heat gun to use it one time.

thus, I am looking for someone that have done this or have a way to bend this to help me out

thanks. Anh

I use a propane torch and an old metal stand from a 29g. It makes a perfect 90 every time.

I have a heat gun. Your welcome to bring it by the house and we can bend it. It isn't about the heat as much as finding something to bend it around and getting it straight. That is a pretty big piece, but I am sure it can be done.

Forgot to mention you can come use it. Whoever is closer to you. I am in N. Austin

I use one of these:

Less than $5.00 in the bargain bin at the local hardware store.  You refill it with butane you can buy at any convience store.  

Go slow, take your time and be careful not to overheat any one spot.  It's really easy.

thank you everyone.

I do have the blow torch for pluming welding, maybe a bit big

I understand what you are saying about bending around a metal stand of a 29 gal (great idea btw)

I'll give it a try this weekend
