You can. A friend of mine slumps small plexiglass mock-ups of larger glass sculptures. Approx. 300F in your stove. Brock
So, do you think 1200F was too hot?

I've been slumping acrylic for at least 20 years in the oven... I guess I should have made that more obvious... but it does explain the strange taste in the meatloaf.
