Done applying heat. BTW I have a paint stripper gun that I use; don;t know if a hairdryer has enough power to do this. This master is about 7 1/2" long as is just at the maximum that will work with a "Coke" bottle. I had already formed two other sections of this canopy, the windshield and the clam-shell portion of the canopy so I was interested in forming the back turtle-deck here which explains why the front of teh canopy is not fully formed. When appyling the heat, be aware that if the plastic starts to fog, it has shrunk as far as it is going to at that point. Also, you might find that there are some creases of folds that appear when forming: just judiciously apply a little more heat to that area and they will go away.
