How much did the last modicum of patience go for on eBay? :-/

I will have to try to develop more patience for this, but I'm really having a blast! ;D

Go some new scrap plexi, I knew it was different from what I'd been using and I got a tad impatient . . .

. . . more bubbles because I kicked the temp up to 275°F again after 250°F didn't get it to droop . . .

. . . it actually bowed upward at first, so I pulled it out and the vacuum didn't touch it . . .

. . . back in the oven it went and I waited forever before it finally drooped a bit after I cranked up the temp.

#4 will make a good marking template for future trials . . .

#2 will likely remain my all-time fave . . .

. . . it just cries out for a Чорнобильська property tag and a bit of case slagging! :o)
