I don't know if pitch would hold up to the forces
needed to bend headers.


Thanks. I have done sand bending before but i am always looking for a better
way. Is there a particlular type of pitch preferred or should I just tap
one of the cedars or sugar pines in my yard? Do you close the tube ends
before bending?
