The trick is getting it to curve along the edges.

<b>The trick is getting it to curve along the edges.</b>

I've used it for non-armour aplications. My tool of choice for shaping it are my fingers and a liberal usage of the anealing blowtorch. (Oh, and cold water. Unlike other people here, I <b>do</b> fo llow safety procedures:) ) finished by a soft-faced hammer to get it flat once curved.
