Instructions for #60663 Plank Forming Jig
Plank Forming Jig
  1. Remove the backing paper from one side of slotted plastic plate and apply one non-slip pad to each corner. This becomes the bottom of the plank forming jig. Now remove the backing paper from the top side of the plate.

  2. Assemble the formers using the nylon tube, steel bolt and nylon cap nut as shown. NOTE: occasionally a nylon washer will be required between nylon tube and cap nut due to variations in bolt lengths. 10 washers are supplied.

    Adjust top row of formers to the approximate shape of the bend you need.

    Soak planks in hot water for approximately 1/2 hour. Thicker planks may require longer soaking time.

    While still wet, insert plank between former #1 and #2 and against remaining top formers. Then slide bottom formers up against plank to hold plank in place until dry.

    Re-adjust formers as necessary to obtain desired shape.

    Depending on width, up to 5 planks at a time can be formed by stacking one atop the other.
