Does any one know how easy it bends. It tends to run around $20 a sheet and has marine grade glue.

maybe grab some and bend it?


I did a 36" radius and a 24" radius, I had some cracking with the 36" radius and ended up wet bending to achieve the 24". So you can get almost anything to bend ;-)

Yep, needs to pass the bend test. Not just will it bend but will it split and crack and mess up the top.

Looks like it will make wonderful sides though. Especially for paint. Cutting the sanding down would be a blessing. ;)
