Just something I thought I'd mention. Since it's Christmas time, lots of you may be wrapping presents. My wife buys bulk bows in a clear flexible plastic container that lends itself nicely for making windshields. I grabbed one a couple of years ago and am still using it today. She polished off another container this week so I cut it into big flat strips for easy storage and added it to my pile of sheet plastic.

If it's of the type I'm thinking, it can also be gently heated and formed for curvature as well. Wink

You can also use thin clear vinyl sheeting, it wraps nicely as well.
