Status: offline 		Does anyone have a current link to a coroplast wing bending fixture. I have success scoring groove 1/4 inch apart with the screen tool, but I would like to see if a fixture might be a bit easier. The links I found were inoperative

I used a dull pizza cutter to put three scores where the coro would bent around the dowel and then bent the coro by hand and then glued and weighed in place into this 45º jig. Copied this method from someone else.



Jig is on the back of the bench on the right hand side - nothing fancy but it worked great.
