A few notes:

Intentionally done in black, so I can really see problem areas, with too much heat, too long, etc. ( on the platen, stretched so thin, it looked like smoke package wrapping)

I'll eventually make proper stand-off units for the bodywork to be at rest, and not " smoosh" out across the table. ( And so the vinyl can get a proper lip, around the edges.)

Needed a second or third person to hold the frame w/vinyl down. That size, with one person ( at the moment) was too much going on. I'll find ways to make adjustments for a good seal later.

A few issues with dust/sawdust, cold weather, and static electricity, within a garage environment.

A shop vac, a vacuum pump, a heat gun, and a patio heater, will leave you in the dark! ::keke::

More in a bit. But for tonight, that's the only pull I can do. Will do some more tomorrow.
