: I give up, what do you need to steam the strips for?

: Bill H.
Some of the strips for the deck have to bend three ways for each strip. In order to bend them correctly without forcing them, I need to have them steamed. I tried a heat gun but it doesn't seem to work or I'm not applying the heat correctly. I figure if I steam them, they might make for a tighter fit also.
