I run a small company that manufactures foot orthotics (supports) - these
are vacuum formed over plaster casts of peoples' feet - sounds like you want
something that ends up with a flawlessly clear finish - with my equipment
(home made), my plastic (or carbon graphite & plastic) ends up with an opaque
finish that is fine for orthotics, but would likely be lacking for your
purposes - let me know if you want more info . . .

Interested in your home equipment. I made a desktop vac former that works
well with thin plastic and uses a shop vac. but I need more succion to form
with heavier plastic and finer detail. Any clues as to how to modify such ?
