Spidey - your steaming tip works great

Last night while waiting for my scarfs to cure, I took out my wife's iron and took two of my full length (3/16" x 1/4") strips that I need to bend. I put them in the bending jig and steamed them, just to see how well it works.

I removed the strips this morning and was happy that they were nice and wavy. The steaming box is a thing of the past unless I need to steam a large piece.

So thanks for the tip.

PS: I didn't use a heat gun afterwards.
