rolf Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Hey all, I'm pretty new to bending, I've only done it for less than two months. I can get an IM white nail unbraced easily in under 10 seconds DO, and green in under 20 seconds. The problem is, I can't even kink a yellow! Well ok, I can, but to less than 5 degrees. I've tried bracing my hands against various bodyparts with various grips but nothing seems to help. I've seen "cheat kink" mentioned a few times on the board, but I haven't seen an explanation of how to do it. I tried the search but to no avail. Could someone please explain to me how to perform a cheat kink? I'm getting frustrated with those yellow bastards. Rolle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Styles Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 (edited) I just brace it over a safety bar in my power rack, then finish it off. Edited November 6, 2004 by Scott Styles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarytheDino Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 I bought a pair a bolt cutters that has a built in bender at wal-mart for 15$. I didn't even notice until I had then for a month or two. Second choice would be put it into a vice and bend it that way. I've seen some talk about bending across a bar but I can't do that.

rolf Posted November 7, 2004 Author Share Posted November 7, 2004 Doh! And I thought it was some secret technique... I'll find something to kink against and try a yellow that way next time. Thanks, guys! Rolle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
