  1. Hey bro, do you just have the “one big hole” under the mould, right? I am making my machine and I want the best amount of pull for the extreme detail. I should do it with the big hole with mesh over it and then the mould on top of the screen mesh, right. Let me know, thanks man! 🙂

  4. You’re going to think I’m an idiot, but this is a serious question.

    Could I vacuumform myself? I want to make something like when Han was frozen in Star Wars, but with myself.

    also, should the Vacuum stay on while it dries?

  5. Question,,Is this plastic paintable and is it U.V. resistant?What type of glue can you use to bond it to another piece of plastic and it to be strong enough?thanks a ton..
