Pussycat Doll Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I have got some small trophy plates - they are flat with rounded edges and a hole at either end. I got them reasonably cheaply and am thinking of turning them into ID bracelets. Does anyone know the best way to put a curve on them either end without damaging the plating on them? Or am I just wasting my time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANDY Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Don't waste 35 quid on a mutated mole grip. i bend plates to fit jobs all the time. the specialized tools i use are cups, spray cans, glasses, broom sticks and the edge of my work top the trick to remember is when you bend some thing it bounces back a bit so choose something smaller than item to form shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pussycat Doll Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Thanks everyone. They are nearly 2 mm thick, so would take a fair bit of strength to bend them. Better make sure DH has 3 weetabix that morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
