Does anyone know how to set up a simple steam bending apparatus so that I may easily curve the 1/8″ x 3/16″ rubbing strakes for the hull I am constructing please?

drain pipe, two plastic stoppers for the ends, a hole drilled in one end and a wall paper stripper attatched to the end through a hole……….mine worked wonders.

OH, YES…forgot to add in the first post ….a couple of drain holes in the bottom of the pipe or the ends will shoot off like bullets when the preasure builds up…also gets rid of the condensating water vapour.

SORRY.
