Larry,
If you are going to heat form, use Acrylic. Lexan has a lot of moisture in it and clouds up when it is heat formed unless you are able to dry it out first. Try not to heat the acrylic over 220 degrees or it will pick up the pattern of whatever it is touching. 1/8 in. or less, for lenses should work well for you. There is a time for building and a time for flying, and the time for building has long since expired. See N64KR at http://KR-Builder.org - Then click on the pics Daniel R.
