Sheet Styrene

Sheet Styrene
Shaping styrene plastic?

I’m making automail (a fake mechanical arm) for a cosplay (costume) and I want to use styrene plastic sheets. I don’t have a vacuum or special heat gun to form the shape of my arm. Can I use household things like a oven, hairdryer, or hot water? At what temperature does styrene become pretty flexibe? I want to do it without melting or burning the plastic, nor do I want to hurt myself so safety tips are appreciated.

Thank you so much to anyone who can answer this for me!

it would be best if you go buy one or get a professional to make one. it is very easy to get hurt with the oven and if you do it wrong you can get a serous burn.
sorry im not much help
