Bill,
 
There have been quite a few questions, answers, and threads regarding making 
canopies and windscreens in the past year or so.  A lot of interest in this 
subject.  Please keep us all informed how this works out.
 
After seeing this morning's weather report, you shouldn't need an oven out 
there!  LoL

Called their help line:

Cold forming: you can cold form XL 10 --a curve that has a radius that is 100 
times the Thickness---i.e. 9.3 inches in this case without stress marks or 
cracks. 

Hot Forming: in a convection oven at 320 deg. F with a top and bottom forming 
mold or frame. This will make it take a set---as this stuff has a memory.
