description: "Plastic sheets made with sheet press don't need to be square.\n\nHere we are showing you how to create octagonal mould to create octagonal plastic sheets. The same methods can be applied to create any polygonal mould for the sheetpress (triangle, hexagonal, etc)\n\nYou can watch the full video tutorial on precious plastic’s youtube channel here:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSZq_9a-XMQ&t=81s\n\nDon't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions and suggestions for the mould. You can click on our precious plastic profile for the contact information"
