TreehuggerQ: What happens if you try to gently bend a rounded clear part after heating it up in hot water? Anybody know? Would it be possible to reshape a rounded clear part, maybe, squeeze the sides together a little?
I can imagine that clear parts are usually brittle.
I could try this out myself, but I thought I should first ask here.

Holger KranichWell, i never did that. But i assume they will become brittle. So do it trial and error.

Michael HickeyAlso it might frost, I heated a piece of clear rod that was 8mm thick it bent nicely to the shape I wanted but it did frost at the bend.

TreehuggerHm. I suppose I can just try it out with a piece of clear-sprue. I should have some of that lying around.
