Bending Advice

Post by Ben-Had »

Would set #20 on the page present any major bending issues? I've not done Brazilian before and at $600 a set would want to be sure it was done right.

they may be warpy.
24 and 5 are better. 20 is a nice looking set but the sides look too iffy.
3is worth the extra that is the winner of the batch

I picked out 20 because it look to me to be the only set you could build a dred out of, the rest all seem OM/000 size.
