I hate to write for things did not going well this week. I bended two side sets one for Amazon RW and the other for Guatemalan RW. Amazon RW that I have is a slab cut. I have never seen this much difficult material for side bending. I applied enough moisture, and then it was rapped with Aluminum foil before side bending. Aluminum foil prevents for escaping moisture during side bending. This technique works well most of side bending works even though a cut-a-way portion requires steep curve. So, I have to give up the Amazon RW material for the cut-a-way portion. I found a scrap Cocoboro material for this cut-a-way portion. Cocoboro was so much easier to bend.
There is good news. Guatemalan RW was also very easy to bend. Now, sides for SSJ and Nylon model were bended and laminated with Yellow ceder. I have been using Yellow ceder as a laminate material with good results. Yellow ceder is a guaranteed material to bend easily.
