Hi, Walter - and welcome aboard!  You may want to post your question under the Framing section - may also want to start a build log under the kits section - folks are quite friendly and willing to help!

Walter, have you soaked the bulwarks in water or are you trying to bend them dry?

WAlter can you post a couple photos to show us the problem you are having?

Hi Walter,

 

Welcome to this wonderful site I've found it very helpful to soak the bulwarks in hot water for a couple of minutes, gently bend them, soak some more if needed then test fit again. Never force bend the bulwarks as this runs the risk of breaking them. As the others suggested, you may want to start a log of your build, you will get a lot of help here. You may also want to remove your email address from your post so as to prevent spam websites from infesting your email. Good luck and don't hesitate to ask if anything is unclear, there are plenty of helpful members here
