: I have tried everything to steam and wet bend strips and they all work to
: some degree but my latest one gives me the added benifit of exercise.
: After beveling my strip my dog and I walk 200 yards to my pond, pound a
: hole in the ice and slip my strip in. Then walk around the pond, take out
: strip, walk back to the house and clamp the strip to the forms and let dry
: naturally or dry with a heat gun. Its more fun then the other ways.

I like this method!! I'm sure its the dogs favorite also.
You may want to experiment with a short length of fishing line and a worm on your strip.
