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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share #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. mtaylor, Ryland Craze and Canute 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
