I have a really good kitchen oven with digital temp control- heated it to
the recommended molding temp - can't remember off hand- used polycarbonate
sheet- 3/32- got it at Lowes-  shielded the plastic from direct IR with some
cement board to prevent over cooking it- let it heat for about 20 minutes
-molded really well

What type of clear sheet did you use?  How did you warm it up?  I've 
always gotten bubbles in the stuff I worked with.
