bending aluminium fascia without brake

| Posted in Construction Techniques on

 I need to put five bends in a 10 ‘ length of aluminium fascia to match existing pieces.  Any suggestions on how to bend it nicely without a brake?

    Do you want it to look good?

    Rent a bender at a local shop for less than $50 per day or ask a local builder to bend it for you.  Many builders would be happy to bend it for you for a small fee.  Good luck!

      Thanks. I guess that's what I'll end up doing.
