Don thanks for the info. I’ll have to look that tool up. So far the bending iron I got from Kolderstok has worked OK to bend the planks. I’ve learned to take my time and try not to force anything.

@Philski,

That is quite the tool that Don is using. The specs are worry some, if I read them right the temperature settings are in Centigrade. After watching several of the videos of the tool in use and reading the reviews I think I prefer using my method.

So far this tool has worked great for me.

I’ve have two heating elements (30W,40W) I purchased from Walmart that I use with the Kolderstok tips. With patience I’ve been able to bend quite a few planks into their required shapes.
