Cheryl mentioned that 2 years ago elements from Euclids were pre-bent.
Well, 8 months ago they were not, to my dismay.

However, I had one Skutt element on hand and laid it out on the driveway,
made chalk marks at the bends and used them as a pattern to pre-bend my
other elements. (this was after trying to install one without bending first
and getting REALLY frustrated)

This method worked fine, and I made a long paper pattern of the marks using
drywall paper tape, for future use.

I will say Euclids were quickly responsive to some questions I had, via
e-mail, and perhaps they are again pre-bending their elements.....you can
ask.
