[Steve McQueen via Personal_Submersibles]

No not really. My interior is still mostly empty/open. I just need to hug the hull interior a bit.
Thanks,

Sometimes it gets to the point where you just have to start over if the piece ends up too mangled.  But yes a pattern piece can be helpful.  I end up looking for stationary structures that I can use as bending platforms.

I was thinking on using something rigid but something I could form/bend by hand (heavy wire?) and make a template to then bend the final piece against.
