Set your acrylic between two pieces of scrap wood, one of which is your jig, and clamp it all together using the vise. Prepare your heat gun for bending the acrylic. Repeat the heating process if you have additional bends to make in the sheet of acrylic. Trace the sides of your newly bent piece of acrylic in order to make the side pieces. Set the bent acrylic piece and the cut sides together with acrylic glue and the applicator."

You may need tools such as a ruler or other measuring stick, a square, a compass, or a protractor to find these dimensions. Once you have calculated your dimensions, mark them up on the acrylic so that you know where to cut. A China graph pencil or permanent marker works well, but the marker will not be able to be removed. If you want any holes in your acrylic enclosure, it is better to drill or cut them into it before bending, as this process is easier while the acrylic is still flat. Cut the jig to help you bend the acrylic to the correct calculations, if necessary. This is where you can use the circular or table saw, if you are cutting a jig. A jig is a box or frame meant for holding a material and guiding a machine tool to the material. The jig will be cut at a particular height and and its edge at a particular angle, based on your calculations, so that you bend the acrylic correctly. Make sure you have a spare piece of scrap wood to help you with the heat bending process. You will use it to push on the acrylic while it is heated. Heating is a slow process in order to make sure that you get a straight bend in the acrylic. Use the spare piece of flat scrap wood to push the acrylic back and down while you aim the heat gun at the acrylic. Make your pressure on the acrylic as even as possible while you push. Move the heat gun slowly side-to-side while you push back and down on the acrylic. Note that the acrylic will likely bend slowly at first, but the more heated it becomes, the more quickly it will bend. You may eventually need to only push down with the scrap wood in order to achieve a straight bend. This will be necessary if you are making an enclosure out of the acrylic, for example, but it will not be necessary in every situation. If you have no further bends to make, then move on to the next step, or you may be done with your project at this time. It will be helpful to allow each bend to completely cool before going on to the next bend so that you do not lose the initial bend. Lay the bent acrylic on its side on a new piece of flat acrylic and trace the sides using a permanent marker or Chinagraph pencil. Cut the side pieces out using a Dremel saw or razor knife when you are done tracing. It is important to trace each side of the bent acrylic. Do not assume that both sides are the exact same shape. This can be a tricky process. Be very careful while bending the acrylic and cutting your side pieces, as the acrylic glue requires perfect seams in order set correctly. The acrylic glue requires at least five minutes to set, so it is recommended to clamp the enclosure together to help it set correctly.

Create your tie dye pattern by gathering and twisting sections of your suit. Dip sections of the suit into the assorted colors you've selected. Take the rubber bands off and rinse the suit in hot water."

This will loosen the fibers of your suit and allow the dye to be more effective. For the best results, choose a white or light colored nylon suit. Use garbage bags, old towels, or an old tablecloth to protect surfaces. Work outside if possible. Acid dye will give you the best results. Choose one color for a monochrome design, or multiple colors for a more traditional tie dye look. Use rubber gloves to protect your skin while preparing the dye and while dyeing your swimsuit. Pull up small pieces of the fabric about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1cm) apart and tie the material off with your rubber bands. Create interesting patterns by varying the amount of fabric you tie off and/or the spacing between each section. The longer you leave the suit in place, the darker the color will be. Rotate to a new section and a new color until the whole suit is covered with dye. Dyeing time can be anywhere between 5 and 20 minutes depending on the base color of the suit and how dark of a shade you want. When using multiple colors, expect some of the colors to run together at the edges and create a new color. This will add more interest and color to your suit and is preferable to leaving areas without dye coverage. If you are using only one color, you can use a large dye bath and fully submerge the suit once you've tied it off with rubber bands. When the water runs clear, wrap the suit in an old towel to remove any excess water and dye. Hang to dry. Place an old towel underneath the suit as it drys to catch any excess dye. The first few times the suit is washed, wash it alone in case it bleeds.
