Have you built a fuge w/ acrylic?

When I was in the boy scouts we made pic. frames out of plexi-glass. We took a streight piece of wire streached it tight and hooked it to a battery. This got it hot. Then we held the plexi-glass in front of the wire, got it hot, and bent it.
(I'm sure you all have seen these little pic. frames at wal-mart)

Ok so here is my question, Could you do this when building a fuge? It would not crack or have stress lines in it from bending.
I dont know why my sump or any I've seen are always built with single panes glued together.

Anyone built a fuge like this?

Lucky
