Heat bending thin stock wacks the plastic and all you get is trash. What is needed is a way to limit the amount of heat to get a perfect bend.
I took a sheet of thick brass and used a small band saw in my garage and cut a short slot. The sheet is positioned over a candle.
The slot reduces the overall heat and focuses the rest in a small area.
Roll the stock over the slot.
This will become a replacement bracket for a mirror on a rally car.
More updates will follow. After I go move my in-laws bed. Ug. Cheers.
