I'm curious Hedd - how would you go about getting it that hot? Over full length? Or just locally...?

Dear all,

Thanks for further suggestions.  As Hedd suggests, I think the bend is over a relatively short length.  I'll ascertain that with a straight edge.  I'll also try to remember to get a picture this weekend (so you can all have good laugh Big Grin) 

Thanks!
