Step 5: Bend Acrylic Part 2

Now its time to bend the acrylic along the lines you drew with dry erase markers.

I made this new set up to bend the acrylic because the bent legs wouldn't allow me to bend the acrylic over the table.  I use a yard stick as my straight edge in the same way I used the metal straight edge (you can use your metal straight edge for this as well mine was just too thick.)  The edge of the straight edge should line up with the line drawn with the dry erase marker. 

Bend the acrylic up wards (not down over the edge of the table) using the yardstick to help make the crease.  Use the same technique for bending the acrylics that you used in the last step.

It should now sit on the table like so (second picture).
