Good cheap strip heater?

[drcrash]

Anybody know how to make a good cheap strip heater? (For making straight-line bends in acrylic, etc.)

I have an idea how to do it, adapating my hot wire foam cutter, but I'm wondering what else is out there.

Or you could try goolging "etsy sew useful" contest and look there, I am sure someone using acrylic has done what you are wanting to do.

Hope this helps!
