I have a "23rd Century Science Tri-scanner" I'm trying to put together. Unfortunately the viewscreen in the kit is distorted and scratched. I've been trying to make a new one from 0.015" clear styrene, heated with toaster oven, hair dryer, and small torch in different attempts. In each case I've gotten shrinkage and poor heat distribution resulting in twisted styrene. A couple of hours of experimentation suggests I need help.
Can anyone suggest a good material and/or method for making a new viewscreen? It doesn't have to curve very much. Thank you.
