Description from the creator

Showing how to go about bending HDPE. The heat gun in question is used in its max setting, at 500 degrees Celcius. All bends I've ever done were done in this way.

Tips:
1. Practice on a cut-off piece first. This gives you an idea of what to expect. Different thicknesses means different bending!
2. Heat both sides, and keep moving the heat gun around the area you want to bend
3. Keep feeling the material, to gauge how much more heat it needs and where it needs it. Usually the more heat goes in, the smaller the bend
4. Quench for long enough using running water. Usually the material has still some give after quenching, this can come in handy for small corrections where needed.

The bending music used is 'Hell March' from the Red Alert Soundtrack.
