Default Followup ... Fixing old floorboards

Glad to hear the steam bending worked. Did you do this with a steaming
bag, or simply by applying the steam plate? How thick is the board and
how long did you steam for?


I've successfully bent softwood skirting boards quite dramatically by
steaming them for half an hour inside a vertical length of 5 inch soil pipe
(steam cleaner hose in at the bottom, of course)
