I am working on my Rinzler costume and I am trying to figure out the best material to use for the visor. I have come down to three different materials. I will either use .060 PETG, .093 Lexan, or .093 Acrylic for the vacuum formed visor. The lexan and acrylic can be bought at home depot, but is more expensive.
I can get 2 sheets (two tries) of .060 PETG online and delivered by the 21st. My only concern is, will it be thick enough? I do not want the thickness of a two liter for my visor. I feel that the acrylic or lexan would work MUCH better, but it is so expensive for one try (and id most likely screw up the first try).
So, has anyone used .060 PETG before for vacuum forming and is it actually thick enough to be worthy of a visor?
