pipe bending to make a shower 'rail'
Steve Walker wrote:
Hello Steve You can't bend chromed finished, the chrome just flakes off at the slightest pressure and change in the pipe. SW| I've recently installed a new kitchen radiator and for looks SW| I used chromed copper pipe. It bent to 90 degrees (using a SW| pipe bender) without any flaking at all. The chrome at the SW| bend did however show slight signs of a satin finish SW| afterwards. Oop, I stand corrected. Maybe they're using a different composition now? -- Simon Avery, Dartmoor, UK uk.d-i-y FAQ: http://www.diyfaq.org.uk/ |
