Bending 6061-t6 aluminum sheet?

[kb426]

George, I was told that abs cement is acetone and abs shavings mixed together. I used it some and was satisfied with the results.

I think I missed something regarding the ABS:  Do you use heat to bend it, or just treat it like sheet metal?

Heat.  It has to be focused on the bend area only.  Most people use NiCr resistance wire (like in a toaster) and a transformer.  There's "how to" videos on youtube.  I just used a heat gun with pieces of wood to shield everything but the bend line (outside radius side).  I went slow and once it was limber enough to bend I had plenty of time to work the bend to exactly where it needed to be.
