Hi, I have some 1/16 wall, 5/8" OD ss tubing I'd like to bend into a
gentle curve. We have a gas welding setup here. I've made some steel
welds but have never used the heating tip. Can someone give me some
pointers? We have a curved plumbing pipe bender which I tried cold but
it dimpled the tube no matter how carefull I tried to be. Thanks.
