[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 790515, member: 325666"] Tried again this morning to iron out the bumps ...and finally had to admit defeat.. Yes I can get the overall contour of the dish area by using the plastic sheet ...but its simply not possible to get it accurate to within mm ...to achieve this the whole sheet would have to be heated uniformly ..and sucked of pushed into place whilst it hardened .. ..a bit like injection moulding .. something I simply can't achieve. So ..it looks like I shall be using the grease ..(paper ..thanks Topper)...and fibre glass mat method afterall . I'll be trying a test sample first ..on an old mini dish...once I have the gear to do it. I'm not giving up on this ... There's an old saying,,,where there's a will ...there's relatives...oh sorry ..there's a way ;) rgds VS [/QUOTE]
