thanks for sharing

Awesome Idea!

what kind of plastic can we use here in the US? ABS (picture)is too thick, will PVC work?

How thick is the plastic used in the pictures?

[6666]

The pictures seem to show pvc plumbing fittings

Yeah, you're right.

The only problem is finding pipe large enough for a medium-to-large size coil. For example, a coil with an 11" diameter will need a very thick pipe.

Is there a way to uniting two sheets to make one sheet large enough for a big coil? maybe not...

I suppose we may always visit toy stores and find plastic toys large/flat enough for our large coils. It shouldn't be a problem salvaging the plastic, now that perdica brought this (obvious) heating technique to our attention...

i have used PVC suige pipes
hard and strong ,

When you make a mold depending on the thickness of the pipe as if the tube 2 mm thick leave space between 3 mm and if the mold has sharp edges rounded to the PVC does not snap, but feel free to insert in the mold

HI All,
I think I may have another source for PVC in the US. Places like Lowe's & Home Depot have large plastic signage. That gets thrown away when they do a reset. I had some but I dnd't have a use for it so I got rid of it . I have a use for it now though. I had about 4 sheets about 4' x 4'. The one side is white while the other side has graphics on it. The Lowe's where I work just finished a major reset. I may be getting more soon.

Regards,
Dennis
