Review on πŸ”² Premium Quality ABS Sheet Thick Black: Nominal Raw Material by Elvis Bragg

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product. We have used it to thermoform replacements on our aquarium lids!

We used these to close the cutouts where our fish tank hangs from the filters it used to have. We switched from built-in filters to aquarium gravel filtration and there were large rectangular holes in the 4 aquarium lids that let light through (light pollution). Large holes were unsightly, a possible spot for adventurous fish to jump out of the tank, and the hole could increase evaporation from the tank. We've searched online and found people suggesting using a toaster set at 250 degrees Fahrenheit to heat a plastic wrap (already cut to size) on a foil-lined baking sheet until it's very pliable. The plastic was as pliable as uncooked lasagna noodles. Using a spatula and oven mitts, we placed a sheet of hot plastic on the opposite top front corner of the gas cap to use as a mold. It was hot work, the part cooled in its new shape and solidified again.

Pros
  • Tear Strength - High
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
