Anyone got a tip on how to straighten out bending slats? After a few uses my slats look like washboards.

Todd, I've found that after a while the crinkles get smaller and more difficult to get out by counter bending. I was wondering if any type of press would work or a break of some kind. Thanks |

Ricardo - by bending the metal to the point it causes it to stay bent, you have changed the nature the material, you have work hardened it. Once it gets to the point that you can not bend it back, it is best to just get a new set. |
