Easy to use plank bender
This is great for bending planks on model boats. First soak the plank(s) then apply the heated appliance to the plank using the pre curved formers to match the design for your ship. Once the plank is dry it should set in the curve desired. If worried you can pin the plank to a cork board or similar to retain its shape. The only criticism I have is that you will need an adapter to convert 240 volts to 120 with the requisite SQUARE contacts. Fortunately I procured one from Amazon which arrived the next day. Note that in addition there is an adaptive "spear" to replace the moulding tool for spot fusing metalwork. Some models require representative wire cabling so this is a boon.
