Hi Ron

You may find this link useful.

I soak the planks for around 10 mins in hot water and it tends to be sufficient in most cases, sometimes I will soak for longer depending on how tight a curve I need.

To keep the profiling block steady place the block in a vice...

Hope this helps..

Regards

Alan
