Making a canopy for my Brian Peckham Chorus Gull. With a combination of video and stills, this shows production of the 'plug' by making a skeleton frame, filled with blue foam, covered with lightweight glass cloth and then Big Boy metal filler. I also made a simple box and frame for vacuum forming and finally, the vacuum forming using 1mm PETG.

The PETG is stapled into the frame as you see in the video, heated in the oven, in this case electric set to 200 C and pre heated for about 10 minutes. When the PETG sags by about 75 90mm its ready.

PETG was bought from Trent Plastics Fabrications Ltd in the UK
