: Yeah, I think I do need 1/16 inch thick. My Kayak has very square
: stern and bow, so it will be a near 90 degree bend. I do realize
: that most will end up on the floor:)....Oh well; it's still
: cheaper than ordering some.

: I do have and use a heat gun without any qualms, so maybe I'll try
: an 1/8 inch thick strip first to see how that works out.

Is this the image you wanted to post?

It isn't the angle that makes it hard to bend. It is the radius. 1/8 should go around that curve.
