A client would allegedly like some pretty tight radius curves with Trex or Timber-tech decking. The bends are to be with the decking horizontal not vertical like facia, allegedly.
Anyone have any tips on bending or talking client out of it? Or advice on how to phrase a question?
Thanks
From building boxes and fitting face frames to installing doors and drawers, these techniques could be used for lots of cabinet projects.

They have a section on bending in their website?
no... not that I know of...
but their tech support says if you shape it you void the warrenty...
soaking it in hot water will make it pliable...
rip it down into narrows and glue it back up into the shape ya want...

Yeah, that pretty much lays it out, in pretty good detail.

Who'd apparently never read the installation guide.

I never said you said it couldn't be, wasn't being done.
You did say it voids the warranty and wasn't in the instruction manual.
All I said was "page 17"

I wouldn't try to bend it. IMMERC has covered that. What about in the design if the radius is made on the cut ends?

There was a good how-to article in JLC maybe a couple of years ago. The authors had to bend it for a pool deck. I recall a lot of photos and fairly detailed description of the technique.
I could be wrong but I was at the building supply about a year ago and they had a display with a Trex bending tool. I think it was Trex. It was some kind of heating element IIRC.
And for one-off bending of short pieces you could probably borrow a non-metallic conduit bender from your sparky.
