Having bent some 65 windscreen frames for RM and RN cars over the last 30 years so when I received a phone call for one I ordered the material and proceeded to bend it. It bent very easily and on removing the die found it had split, so I ordered another piece. I carried on with another job wondering what to do, if I silver soldered it I would end up filling the seal channel with silver solder, what to fill the channel with. Eureka, fire cement, it worked a treat, I cleaned it up and bent the other corner with the same result. I can only conclude that the material condition is different and will have to anneal the material before bending something I've never had to do. Only problem is when it gets hot enough to anneal it will be like a 5' length of spaghetti.
