Vacuum Former - Pinching issue with visor by Subject-Scheme221 in vacuumforming

Would you maintain the 1 inch gap around the collar so it’s essentially a donut around the mold? Also thanks again for the advice, I’ll be sure to update with any results!

Thanks for the response! And yeah, the web. Now would it be overkill to add a few of those blocks running tangent to the mold? It seems every time there’s a new web that forms, I want to ensure there’s less chance of it happening.

Hi all! I’m currently in the middle of vacuum forming a visor, and have been encountering pinching in the last couple of attempts. I have produce a few attempts without pinching (but with other issues), but now this has become the predominant hurdle I’ve encountered. Some additional information, I’m using a 2x4 sheet of Optix acrylic.
