What is the recomended way to bend ply-wood to form a curve in the front of the
tank?
Two methods:
1) Use 1/32" or 1/16" plywood used by the airplane guys as the
sub-structure and then fiberglass over it for the final surface. The
thin plywood bends very easily and forms a nice smooth surface.
2) To bend thicker plywood, set your table saw or circular saw so that
the blade is 1/2 the thickness of the plywood/board. Then, cut grooves
on the backside of the board perpendicular to the bend direction. The
closer and deeper the cuts, the tighter the radius that can be made.
