As most of you know I pre bend my linings on the hot pipe so that I can get a good fit... But my latest batch of mahogany kerfed linings turned out to be dry and brittle and easily snap while bending ..So I've been soaking them in hot water with a little washing up liquid added to soften them up...Since I've been doing this I have had no more breaking..I have used the same method on difficult side ribs with good results.
