Visor Buck Question

[JRTaylorThird]

How much of an issue would this size difference be? Obviously molded PETG will still hold some elasticity and be able to bend a bit, but is this going to pose an issue for me? Only purchased two sheets, I’d love to not waste them!

Also bought a cheapo visor from XCoser to get an idea for how it might look when completed, but the Chinese New Year has delayed shipment for a long while. Oops.

I would recommend getting a few more sheets on order if you can. If your source has changed, I have a McMasterCarr link on my forum profile that I use for 12"x12" sheets.

The reason why I recommend more sheets : If you've not done the process before, you have a decent chance at making a failed visor pull, there's always the chance and I know I would likely fail and use up the two remaining sheets.

To answer your question though, I'm leaning more towards no/kinda? Your formed visor will be pliable to a degree, but because of its geometry, it kind of squishes top - bottom as you pull outward if that makes sense. Me personally, If I had the situation you're in, I'd try at least once.

Here's my visor vacuum pulling setup.

I actually got mine from there as well! Just realized I bought 12x24 sheets, so I'll cut those in half and have 4 12x12...

Definitely need to try & find some cheap countertop oven for my vacuum forming, I doubt my "heat it up with a heat gun & press it down" method would work too well...

Thanks for the photo also!
