need to make so bends in trim aluminum for roof cupola.anyone have plans for a temporary aluminum bender???
believe or not compared to the other methods you have suggested.straightening with a flat iron is the best wayjust make sure that the straightening iron is ceramic plated.if you straighten all the time or a lot, it pays to be splurge and buy a good one (~$100)dont buy the ones from the store like conair or whatever.they do not work! esp if you have thick/curly/wavy hair.(my hair is fine wavy and it couldnt even do a good job on mine)also make sure use heat protection spray, that you can pick up at any drugstore.
Why are you straightening your hair? it isn't the most beautiful thanks to placed on hair besidesseem on the damage and tear you've carried out! you should use tremendous rollersUse soup cans with both ends decrease offthat supply you some body and particularly immediately hairbe confident to wind it around the can conveniently for best outcomesUse a hood-type dryer, and dry it thoroughlythen you extremely can basically contact up gently with a no longer-so-warm ironthis can very last for couple daysyou should under no circumstances ought to do it each day.
i know that alcoa makes pre bent rake and fascia trim if you can work with those sizes and just need a simple return bendyou could check with a local siding supply house and see if they have a brake available to use at their warehouseyou could do that if you can plan the shapes out and if you can make the pieces over sized and cut to fit when you get homei made a brake jig for step flashing so i could get a crisp bend in scrap siding trimif the pieces that you need to make aren't too large, a couple of pieces of 3/4 plywood or osb would workmake them about 4-6 by whatever length you need, place a filler piece of double scrap trim material on each end, then screw or nail them togetherto use it to bend you will need a sturdy, flat work table to bend againstif you just need to make small return bends, you can buy a hand brake at a supply house or home improvement center, like a sheet metal worker would use for duct worki have seen them at the home depoti also have seen one with exchangeable faces for up to a 12 bendwith most of these you can only get a bend about 1 1/4 returnif all else fails, you could try contacting a few siding contractors and see if one would work with you on a 'rain out' daygood luck!
well first of all take care of your hair and if you use a flat iron use the one which has actual ceramic plates on it ,not just a strip and be careful to comb your hair first and glide the iron at once and so it helps.
