When using a HF type A frame tubing bender , try to bump your bends , 1" at a time.
Count your strokes .
Start your bend , take it just to the point that it starts to deform then move 1" start again. This is bump bending .
You can get some pretty tight bends using this method.
Sand packing works as does Cerro. But you will still get better results from bumping.
Practice practice practice .......
The other nice thing about bump bending is the ability to change angles during the bending process. Compound bends are aw------fly handy...
