russ Posted December 11, 2013 #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 #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 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
kiwiron Posted December 12, 2013 Author #4 Posted December 12, 2013 Thanks a lot men that should read 300mm long and it is flat to be bent sideways,very carefully by the sound of it.

augie Posted December 12, 2013 #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 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
kiwiron Posted December 13, 2013 Author #6 Posted December 13, 2013 Sucess chaps soaking for 2 hours and gentle pressure did the trick,thanks ron. mtaylor, augie and WackoWolf 3 Current builds: HMS Victory - Caldercraft 1:72 Completed builds: HMB Endeavour - OcCre 1:54 HMS Supply - Caldercraft 1:64.
