for the 20 inch single PLL casing its easy to shape the pvc into the desired shape...just stand on the darn thing, and let your body weight do the rest...
but for double 45 inch PLL casing...standing on it all day will not help ..u need a heating machine, the one use for bending palstic sheets.
this photo shows the Pvc bend into shape and the other is in its original form
here a pair of casing before painting. the sides were made with spare pvc sheet cover , glued with gum gajah . sand down with sandpaper. before painting, the whole casing must be sanded down for better paint grip. spary painted with black. i use 6 layers of spray for a smooth surface ...never ever try to finish the job in one application ...wat u will get is lots uneven, hand sticking paint. take your time..... one thin layer at a time.
a painted casing and a completed set....
i always take the extra trouble to do neat wirings...for safety measure...i sure hate to get burn when one of those wires get wet in an untidy wired light casing
