  7. Hi Rob snowy here Personally I soak all my planks for 1 to 1half hours and do just 2 a day and let them dry I too love the electric plank bender but I First cut 1 end to start then bent to shape about 5 mm apart ( depending) with the amati hand bender then glue about 150mm with mostly wood glue and dabs of superglue then work my way along in stages .I use the heat bender to run across the planks after cleaned .Frank mastini ( great book)as the reckons it heats the glue and helps the planks Cheers snowy
