Yeah, there's a nice 5" rounded shoulder on each side. The tricky part will be trying to keep that nice orderly transition in the plastic version. Plastic can get to be a chore if you don't heat it just right. Too much heat and it gets too floppy, gets weird curves/bends in it. Too little and it won't hold the curve.
