After failing once again I have given in and contacted the experts. This is harder for me than it sounds, as this is the first time I have asked for outside help during this refit. I broke down and called Maritime Plastics (410-263-4424), and I'm really glad I did. They know their stuff, and seem to be both friendly and flexible. As for the attempt, my homemade oven simply could not achieve uniform temperature throughout the piece. After failing with both test pieces, I couldn't risk failing on the "real deal". I am now going about building molds, which I will bring to Annapolis for MP to form my new front window with. Live and learn. C
