I have some plastic rods to make pipes for my interior scenary (5m and less). Just wondering if anyone used these and managed to make bends? If so, how do you do it?

Cut and glue seems a better option, though you can heat plastic rod and bend it.

Depending on thickness of rod: boiling water.

Space heaters, Hairdryers, boiling water, & open flame (candle) are all good. The only thing I'll add is that open flames with poly require precision & things can go bad fast if you are not careful.

With a little heat, you can pretty much origami p-card & it is a great way to do something new. :)

hmmm to be honest I think I asked this while falling asleep as its quite obvious now you mention it.

Anyone done this successfully before I start burning myself?
