Actually need a different product, but received what was ordered ahead of schedule. Won't be returning as would not be cost effective with return policy.
These .040" thick plastic sheets worked well when formed over a 3D model of an aircraft canopy (windscreen, 6" L x 2" W x 1.5 " H). I cut the sheets in half, screwed them to a flat board using metal corner brackets around a rectangular cutout for most of the sheet, heated the plastic in an oven to 450 F, then after a few minutes when the plastic started to sag, removed from oven and pressed over a 3D wood/bondo canopy mold while pushing down with a 2D wood cross section. The 2D cross section had to fit tight around the 3D model to get a smooth finish. The resulting canopy was clear with some light-bending distortion. There were some minor ripples. I also tried a home built vacuum chamber but my vacuum cleaner didn't appear to have enough suction to pull the plastic down over the 3D mold or there was air leakage. I also tried .020 inch PETG which didn't work as well (melted holes into the plastic during the process).
