I cut a few pieces of .080" to 7 x 11, and pulled out a wine bottle I wanted to try as a form.

Just barely fit in the oven.

Set at 300 degrees, and you can see some waving. I found that the plastic heated faster at the back of the oven, and had to flip the piece, since it was so large.

You can see a little marring of the surface, and some thinning, so stretching is taking place.
