I called the seller of the metal and they quite frankly told me that CRS
will do this and that I should have ordered hot rolled. (The spec clearly
indicated 1/8" CRS with a 1/16 bend radius)

Does anyone have any advise before I say or do anything. Getting a little
chaffed. Not sure who beside my own inexperience is at fault.

The seller was right. CRS will crack. I bend it all the time, but I
heat it red hot with a O/A torch. If I dont. It will crack.

Been there, done that, had to do it all over again.
