: I have used a damp cloth and my wife's iron to aid in bending strips . I
: did't have a heat gun so hd to make do .

I used a wallpaper steamer and took off the paddle and added a fitting that I could screw into a PVC end cap in a 5 foot PVC pipe. It was very easy and worked well. You do need to support the pvc pipe but I did not have any problem with it getting flat. My box was only 2" dia. pipe.
