Hello James,
many thanks for your reaction. It is not really the planking. I noticed by reading through the manual and checking the pictures I have to bend pieces of plywood for some decks and spiral staircases. I know that the wood has to be wet in order to bend it without breaking.
But how wet ?
Soak the wood in water for 1/2 hour, 2 hours, 1 night. But I am afraid that if the wood is too wet it may break because it may be too soft.
Best regards,
