. . . attempt made today. It was a half-@$$ed attempt, so I was unsurprised by the nasty results . . . but still . . . :-/

I built the frame, some spacers and a flange so I'd have flat surfaces to mate the face and tube halves of a fake 9" Compact CRT.

I was about half finished when I decided to try the heat gun method instead of building a frame for the oven heating method . . . no joy in Suckville. I did learn how to boil the surface of plexi to get some really interesting bubble effects though . . .

. . . but that probably won't be part of any finished project parts. :

I've been documenting the process, but I ain't sharin' until I finish the rest of the apparatus and have something just a bit less fugly to show for my efforts.

It's time to kick back and watch a mindless movie, all in all, it has been a fun day! [] ]'>
