I think Id go at it in stages. First, Id get them HOT, really, really Hot so that leather glove with cotton gloves inside are required to work with them. Look at the curves they have to make & physically force them into those directions, only go past it some, so when they cool & the pressure is off, theyll be closer to the shape you want. YOull be holding them. Remember, it is possible to ask the impossible of things. If theyre thick & if youre asking them to bend in more than 1 direction, youre asking for the perimeter to change,, so, be prepared for a hassle &/or a disappointment. HF has a heat gun for under $15.00. I put off buying one for years. Finally, window tinting forced my hand. Now, Ive used it a bunch.. shoulda got it yearzago.,.
Remember the Ford pickups from the 80's? Those moldings down the side were all held on by 2 sided tape. Mine is an 87 & still holding. Body shops have some fine adhesives, even better now that when I was a body man. YOu mite be ahead to just pay a visit to a body shop or 3.. What a fine reason for a ride!
