: finally got a picture. do you guys think I will have a problem
: bending the strips?

I don't think you'll have any problems at all. I you do, get a decent heat gun (not a hair dryer) adding heat helps alot in getting the strips to make tight bends/twists. I don't think you'll need it. The standard 1/4" thick strips are very flexible.
