Dave Wermuth Who hid my paddle? Nov 27, 2013 #2 Nice. I do the same except with flexible hose, and pre-soak, and bugger steamer.....oops. Good set up.

T Tim Ward New Member Jan 5, 2014 #4 That's an amazing idea! How long do you generally need to apply the steam before bending into place?
Dave Wermuth Who hid my paddle? Jan 5, 2014 #5 Once the steam gets going, the general rule of thumb, one hour per inch of thickness.
