Note on "thermoformable plastics":

You may use any plastic sheet provided that it is thermoformable, which means it reacts to heat (as opposed to thermosetting plastic). 

When heated, thermoplastics will soften to a malleable state because of their low melting point. This means they can be easily shaped into any design.

On the other hand, thermoset plastics or thermosets do not change their shape when heated. When exposed to higher temperatures, thermosets will simply char. Some thermoset plastics include polyester, silicone, melamine, polyurethane, and epoxy. Please don't use these thermoset materials with your DT2!
