Which skins have you guys found it necessary to roll the edges of your skins? Wing skins?

Could you use a hand edge roller to get just enough bend to slide the rear piece under the forward one? Or on a bead roller you can make a joggle to accomplish the same thing...I waited way too long to get a cheap Harbor Freight one and I use it for a variety of things. I do have a lathe and make my own dies to match what I want to do but you can offset a cutting die and accomplish a nice fit for up to 0.025 2024-T3. It also works nice for kydex panels....just a thought.

Here's a 24" no need for 2 of them. They just call it a folding tool

Not seeing that on their website. What is it?

I hung mine off the edge of a table and clamped a piece of 2x with about 1/16" more than required sticking out and used two of these I got at Home Depot to cover full length at same time.



They also make cheap hand brakes, not sure on how much width they will accommodate.

Anybody have tips on bending the forward edges of the TC skins?
