[QUOTE="JimGore, post: 93058, member: 3"] Hi Byron, Any stressed lamination will have some amount of springback. 3mm MDF is no different in this regard. It will probably spring back less than the 6mm, but it will still be enough to mess you around. If I were in your situation, I would overbend the laminates (radius) by about 5%, which then gives you 5% springback tolerance. The easier way would be to make the cross members (braces) the same radius as your laminates. Make a sample laminate, then use it's natural resting arc to get the radius of your braces. Unfortunately you have spent so much time on your bracing that I doubt this is an option. Good luck - we are all holding thumbs for you! Regards, Ian. [/QUOTE]
