[dales133]

If it isn't a mess nothings getting done...

[KCStudly]

...bombsite

I was thinking the same thing.

What's that anecdote about the company that wanted to make a really good impression on their client and when the visitors came to the ultra clean shop the first thing they wanted to know was where all of the work really gets done?

Lol touche

[felixx]

I think I would agree with Dale on the pvc.
I just used unequal right angle, 25x12. You need to have the smaller edge to the inside of the curve, but it will want to twist out a bit. Just take it slowly it will go down ok. I didn't use any screws around the edges of the side walls so didn't need to cover anything down there.

so I will get some unequal angle this week.
Do you need to tap any wrinkles out with a rubber mallet?

I guess you use glue and screws?

[dales133]

If you can get your hands on a blow torch of some description and heat the angle up then cool it to anneal it it will be more plyable
