Default steam bending plywood

(Kevin) wrote in message . com...
Does anyone know if it is possible to steam bend 9mm bs1088 Okoume to
an 8 inch radius?

Thanks!

Kevin


I have steamed 6mm to about that radius (maybe it was closer to 12", I
don't have the parts here anymore) but with some minor problems. If
you had a real good controlled steam and a solid mold to bend to, you
might be able to do it but I kinda' doubt it. At any rate it would be
trickey in my opinion to get a consistant success rate.
