I have never tried the warm water method I have heard about. Just wanted to know how warm the water should be? Should I boil it to get it real hot then soak? After turning the burner off of course. Or just hot out of the tap?
[:(][B)] Why doesn’t anyone answer? (kicks floor) Oh, well. Guess I’ll find something to glue together.
Depends on what you want to bend. If you want a gentle bend, drooping rotor blades for example, hot tap water will work very well. But if you want to make styrene circles, you need to wrap the styrene around a cylindrical metal object of the proper size (eg exacto handle), secure it with rubber bands and dip it in boiling water.
I srapped this idea and went with some scratchbuilt cables but thanks for the reply. I had some long pieces or molded tow cable and wanted to make it snake around on the rear deck of my Panther. The molded cables had great texture but the bending I tried didn’t look natural enough.
