Handling coroplast?

OK, I have another question and I need help. How do you bend your coroplast on the sides? Haven't tried it yet, but I know from my own experience with thick cardboard that you hardly can bend it in a straight line. I got the 1st grids and already cut and bent coro from the piggies addopters. Lucky me! But now I was wondering how the coro works as I am planning to upgrade and fnally finish my boys cage. Any technique to make it easier? I would surely use some guidance before I do something stupid! Thank you!

Re: Handling coroplast?

Thank you, but that's rolling the coro, I think I didn't explained myself, sorry. When you cut the coroplast to fit the cage and all, then you have to bend the sides, how do you do that? You know, the part that come up, but a big sheet of coro http://www.guineapigcages.com/photos....php/photo/831 You cut through it a little and bend it?

Thats what you do. Just cut through one half of the coro and the bend it. When you cut with the grain you don't need as much pressure to cut through.
