scutum help

[richsc]

I have successfully bent up to 1/2 inch plywood, damp and with heat. With the right tools and skill it can be done.

Alternatively you can get 1/8" plywood that actually does bend, in either plane. We use that in Legio XX: makes life enormously easier and faster. The glue isn't such a problem then either, as both layers are already bent and stay there. The press then is almost a matter of straps rather than massive pressure.
