Thanks a lot! I used some cheap leather wraps from a pound store and they kept slipping... What would be my next step in terms of bending? Anything I can get from Homebase?

AlexR Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Get some nice thick suede to bend it and wrap it nice and tight. Homebase used to sell small quantities of steel bar,but my local one has stopped stocking it.Buy some steel online there are plenty of suppliers that deliver.Get some 1/4'' crs round,and keep cutting it shorter.

GatorGrip Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Great Job with bending those nails, like they said suede leather will help tremendously if you don't want to go with the IM pads. CONGRATS your moving fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilliman64 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 my first nail was last year - I love it. congrats! my advice, keep bending! bend 2 or 3 times per week. most of all, have fun and try not to push into the harder bends straight away in case you injure yourself.
