The steaming certainly works. These chines are 32x19mm and there is no way I could bend them into this curve without breaking. Pre steaming the curve and leaving them clamped overnight made the glueing up so much easier. The inner gunwhales were much more difficult, and proved to be the trickiest task in the whole build so far. The problem was : there was so little to glue them to, just a small notch in the frame, the taper into the stem proved elusively hard to clamp, I ended up misjudging their curve and cut the gunwhales too short, and had to think hard to work out a means of clamping - cut up bike inner tubes worked great.
