pvc heating pad/bender

[bukster]

i just recently realized that there are specially made heating pads for bending pvc. only problem is i can't find them anywhere. does anyone have any ideas where to look besides like lowes and harbor frieght? or does anyone have one they wouldn't mind selling?

If you can't find one you could use one of those weed burning torches that Harbor Freight sells. I've heard of people using it to bend 4" diameter PVC. A grill works well, too.

yeah the only problem with those is you can easily create thin spots in the walls of the pvc or just plain burn through it. that is my last resort though.

You can make one out of a old hair dryer I'll find you the link.
