The steamer I got from Home Depot... connected with a tube to the elongated box capable of holding the longest length of planking. Which seems to be about 500mm.., unless you cut your own (although I made it about 2.5 ft long) The box is sealed except for the hinged door. Which I put rubber stripping along. Then one vent hole. Also, I installed horizontal dowels to keep wood pieces elevated to get complete surround of the steam Steamer was about $60.. The capacity of the steamer seems to hold enough water for several hours. According to directions and youtube, thin small thicknesses only seem to take short time..... How ever,,,, I'm still learning and playing with it. After steaming,,,, the best thing seems to make a form to hold piece in until dry. I was going to try and bend and immediately apply to framework.......haven't got that far yet. I am almost done with my Mamoli Victory and will be applying this to my ext ZHL build which is a Soleil Royale.
