I think that the iron is too hot, but I can't change the temperature, I just plug it and it work, nothing more nothing less. But yeah, it's fun, eager to see the final result.

Hello everyone, Sorry for the late answer, I was busy those past few days. I tried again the planking of the first piece and glued it. I first soaked it 15mn in cold water before putting the piece of wood on the boat and used the electric bender while pressing it on the plank on the boat to give it the desired shape on one side, and the result look good to me. I then Soaked it again during 5mn after a few minutes of drying it for the other side and it gave me thoses sames black marks again. I still glued it and I let you see and let me know what you think of it. Thanks for the advices

Hello everyone I received for my birthday my first boat model of the HMS Bounty (Jolly Boat) from Artesia Latina because they know I like building things but such a thing is a first for me. I finished the inner frame (if you can call it like that) and the instructions tell me to attach the plank to the hull (I'm french) and for that I need to bend them. I tried one a few days ago, i moistened it 5mn before trying to bend it and it didn't gave me the results I expected. It was hard to even give it a shape and it's a bit black on some part of the plank because it's hot. How do I use it, is there something I don't know?
