What happens here

To enable the composite panel to bend along the V-groove, use a heat gun, such as a Milwaukee heat gun, to apply localized heat to the V-groove. Gradually heat the area until the composite material becomes pliable. Once sufficiently heated, carefully bend the panel along the V-groove to form a precise 90-degree corner. It may require two people: one to heat and the other to assist in bending or holding the panel.

Goal: Form a 90-degree corner from the V-grooved composite panel

  • Heat Gun Milwaukee — Heating the composite to make it pliable for bending
  • Heat-Resistant Gloves — Protecting hands from the hot composite material
  • Second Person — Assisting with holding and bending the panel
  • V-Grooved Composite Panel — The material being formed
