russ Posted December 11, 2013 Share #2 Posted December 11, 2013 So long as you are not trying to bend it along its width you should be okay.

augie Posted December 11, 2013 Share #3 Posted December 11, 2013 If it turns out to be a really tough piece, try adding some ammonia or Windex to your soaking bath Ron. It can really help. kiwiron 1 Quote Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

augie Posted December 12, 2013 Share #5 Posted December 12, 2013 So it's an edge bend! Soak well, bend slowly and get a weight or clamps on it to keep it flat in the jig. Good luck! kiwiron and captainbob 2 Quote Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
