Torture
I am working on the deck at the moment. There is a really awkward twist and bend, and a couple of the joins that I have managed are horrible. Multiple clamps, tape, screws, nails, heat gun, torture... despite all this I couldn't make them fit nicely. So, for the remainder of the troublesome strips I am making two 'half' strips (1cm wide instead of 2cm) and gluing them together in a curve (e.g. the leftmost strip in the photo). I have made a small jig to do this...so far it seems to be going OK. I will have to fix the untidy joins later on.
