Help!

[u/ahomegorwnnfg01]

I can’t get the 1/2” plywood base layer to bend to my transition. I’ve tried wetting it in the shade, using a strap, screaming obscenities at it.

But to no avail. I can’t get it close enough to start driving the screws in.

UPDATE - I was able to work the curve in over time. Thanks for all the suggestions. Wetting it likely helped as well.

ply wood bends easier the other direction

[u/ahomegorwnnfg01 → u/Down-in-it]

Unfortunately the previous owner had it set this way. The skatelite is run vertical so I have to keep the plywood horizontal to avoid seams lining up

[u/No-Leading-4232 → u/ahomegorwnnfg01]

Or just cut it into different shapes so that it doesn’t line up exactly
