[QUOTE="Satcom1, post: 603060, member: 302061"] Yes, This will work just fine. Here, it is easier and cheaper to get a 3 mil. plastic drop cloth for under $2 and works just as well. :) If you add fine wire mesh like window screen it will be pulled into shape and stay there. :cool: You don't have to suck out the air, just press down on the membrane and the air squirts out around the edges and the atmosphere forms the parabola. I have done this and it works. I will be posting some pics. of fiberglas dish I made using the water method. [/QUOTE]
