In Response To: Steam bending with an iron? (Ken Sarkozy)

: Some time ago there were a few references to one of this group's members
: using a steam iron to bend strips in place, i.e., without using a steam
: box. Can someone point me to where those posts are in the archives, or
: repost the one(s) describing the technique? T.I.A.,

: Ken Sarkozy

I had pretty good luck with a hot dry iron and a clean wet rag wrapped around the strip.
