skulls Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone would happen to have any sort of easy trick on how to bend/curve styrene plastic? I bought some and adding the lower peices to a 359 peterbilt cab/bunk and I have made a few attepts at curving it and well, has went bad in a hurry. it will either bend a bit, or go all limp and warped. I cant seem to find a way for it to smoothly curve/ bend. any suggestions? Thanks James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewaskew Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 The link foxer has is a good one. And it doe's depend on how thick the plastic is your tring to bend. For the sleeper and cab corners your trying to match up. I use something that matchs the curve as a guide and bend the plastic over that untill its right. I use my hobby knife most of the time for those. I also use the same thickness of plastic as the kit is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
