What happens here

After routing, carefully inspect the V-groove to ensure the cut is even and deep enough, leaving just a thin layer of material as a flexible hinge. Take a heat gun and evenly apply heat along the length of the routed groove. Move the heat gun continuously to prevent localized overheating. Heating the composite material will make it pliable and easier to fold without cracking or breaking.

Goal: Make the composite siding pliable for folding
