Hi All

Yea,, I am looking at my windows and I can see that some are rotting
out. They are 20 years old and are near the end of the road. A complete
replacement is a $14K deal. So,,,, to soften the blow I was thinking of
cutting out the rot, replace it as required and refurbishing the surfaces
with a resin paint and then try my hand at surfacing everything with light
aluminium or vinyl. I think I can permanently bond either to the existing
frames with PL Premium and or calk.

I guess there are a lot of ways to tackle the problem but I am partial
to buying a roll of AL at home depot and bending it up as required. I see
that there is a Bandito bender for $449 I.E.:

But not being a tin man I am not at all sure that it's what I would need and
also I would like to try my hand at fabricating a bender. Does anyone have a
simple plan for a brake and or any advise on the subject??

Thanks
