I have recently decided to try my hand at vaccuforming. I am vaccuforming with a shopvac of 5 HP and the thickness of the styrene I use is .06 '' I set my oven at 300 F and let the styrene bake for 2m30s. When I get the styrene out of the oven I quickly put it down on my model and start the vaccum.
I have joined one picture of my vaccuform table and the other picture show that my vaccuform mask as a lot less detail that the one I have rotocast.
It seems to me that my shopvac is not strong enough. I know that I can get a 6.5hp will it make a big difference or should I look elsewhere?
I dont want to use tiner plastic because the mask will be to weak.
By the way, the teeths are cast seperately :lol
Any help would be apreciated
