: That's one of those "Why didn't I think of that" type ideas! Steam
: iron is such a good idea!

: Which reminds me of one I don't think I have mentioned. I was bending some
: 3mm plywood around a coaming form and it would crack on the small end.
: Grabbed the heat gun and heated the strip as I worked it around and it
: bent like butter.

Heat gun works well on strips too. There's usually enough moisture in the wood that the dry heat gun works locally just like a steamer.
