There is a vigorous cottage industry engaged in forming cockpit
transparencies for light aircraft. Homebuilders will often make a ply
crate with an internal electric heater to allow a flat to be heated to
its spaghetti temperature, whereon they place it gently over a felt
covered (even greased) form, and gently press it down in contact.
This is not everybody's cup of tea. There is at least one shop that
does nothing but transparencies of this kind, and does them
perfectly. I have not kept contact details, but I could suggest you
readdress the question to rec.aviation.homebuilt where doubtless
someone would have the address on file.

Jan,
Good to hear from you. I'll look around and see what I can find.
