HOW TO VACUUM FORM IN 3 EASY STEPS
STEP 1: Secure your thermoform plastic between the Hobby Vacuum Former’s metal clamping frames with the provided spring clips. Attach your Shop-Vac (not included) to the vacuum former. Place your model on top of the vacuum formers perforated aluminum platen.
STEP 2: Place the thermoform plastic in your kitchen oven and watch as it begins to sag. When the plastic becomes soft, remove it from the oven. Align the metal clamping frames with the Hobby Vacuum Former’s guides and lower the plastic over your model.
STEP 3: The hot thermoform plastic forms an air tight seal around the edges of the aluminum vacuum platen. Vacuum pressure pulls the hot plastic down around the model. After cooling for a few seconds the thermoform plastic part hardens and is ready to be removed.
