Thanks for the reply. Have you seen this plastic welding tip and do you think it would work for plank bending? I know it is flat but it is small enough to use in a bending jig/form It is only around 7 USD vs the 40USD. Quote

If you hunt around the website, you may find the 3003 tip by itself, or send Gerhard an inquiry. I have no experience with a flat-tipped tool, but remember that bends aren't flat -- they're curved, which is why dedicated planking tools are curved as well. And think of the tool as an investment -- if you're going to be in the hobby for a long time, the cost is worth it in the long run.

Dcox Posted February 3 Author #5 Posted February 3 I ended up just buying a plank bender kit, iron, tip and bending jig. It works well and wasn't very expensive. Ryland Craze, Canute and mtaylor 3 Quote
