I purchased the 1/4 inch luan from Home Depot and was able to bend to this radius quite easily.
I need 24 inch radius for my rimple and this is easily tighter than that.
I am leaving the straps on until I need it.
I'm curious if it will retain any curve after I take these straps off.
I didnt use or need water for this radius.
The rachet straps pulled it on the first try.
