You may find this helpful... It's how I tend to do sharp bends.... Get the curve first then trim the plank to fit...

thanks Alan
I just finished watching the video link you sent me and it will help me a lot
I never thought of using my regular soldering iron to bend the plank and just use regular tap water cool
