Help With PE Parts
« on: March 28, 2015, 06:10:39 PM »
Hi Guys,
I know I read somewhere on the forum a way to bend PE parts using heat and then annealing them once they are bent but I can't remember where I found it. Can you either guide me to a post about that or give me the method used here? Thanks, Dave

However David, be careful. Small p/e jackets can be thin, and too much heat for too long can "burn" it up. This is not such a concern on the 1/32nd jackets AFAIK, but on smaller scales it might be.

Yes it's good to practice on scrap first :)

Don't let it get red hot, keep the flame moving over the part until it changes color (and I don't mean starts to glow!)
