Nice work all around. Gives me some ideas for a reefer trailer. Did you heat the styrene to make the bends or just pressure?

well I just go the gun yesterday so this is my 1st time heating it to bend it. all I have to say is don't over heat and DO NOT apply to much pressure because you will warp and thin the styrene out. like I show in the pics I used a pipe and I heated it slowly and let gravity do most of the work but still had to hold it to help hold the correct shape. just take your time...
