Cross grain bending is accomplished by using a straight edge to make a very straight score on the back side. Then leave the straight edge in place to make the fold. Just be careful to only SCORE the coroplast and not to CUT it. A lot of planning goes into making a complex geometry work the first time, but making some drawings of what you expect the piece to look like, andmaking the piece on sight help a lot.
