Most often, drywall sheets are used to even out a deficient surface. However, in recent years, the use of a variety of curved elements has become more popular. Drywall or plywood is often taken as the basis. We invite you to familiarize yourself with several proven methods for rounding this material.
Hot bath
To make plywood flexible, steam is often used. After processing, the material becomes flexible and can be implemented on almost any form. An alternative in the absence of special equipment is the use of hot water. Fragment of plywood, which is subject to bending, should be completely dipped in boiling water. After a long steaming for 30 minutes, one side must be firmly fixed, and physical pressure should be applied to the other. This method will work perfectly on plywood, the thickness of which does not exceed 5 mm, subject to a wide radius of curvature. A sharper bend will require a phased deformation. Plywood bends, fixes and dries. Next, the procedure is repeated in a circle until the desired effect.
It is very important to have a prepared template in advance. Firstly, this plays a significant role for the accuracy of bending, and secondly, it will not allow bending. Returning plywood to its former state is an even more difficult task.
Drywall Wetting Method
By moisturizing the back surface of the drywall sheet, you can achieve no less effect than the notch method. The sheets are laid on a flat surface or floor and begin to moisten using a spray gun and roller. To give greater flexibility, the amount of moisture can be increased by using a previously prepared sponge. It is always important to remember that a large amount of moisture can render the material unusable. Therefore, the process should be carried out gradually.
Only after the water is absorbed, you can proceed to the bend itself. Having fixed one edge, it is necessary to gradually begin to bend it, fixing each step with a self-tapping screw. The step of the screws should be in the range of 10-15 cm.
As can be seen from the description, the process of bending drywall and plywood is quite simple, but it requires endurance and patience.
