Heat is right out. Explosive forming could work. Do you have a swimming pool? 
Were it I, I'd prolly go for a low-poly faceted construction. It's less complex than this example:
Maybe one long dart to make a cone off-centered to the front and 2 or 3 at the rear to make a tearing edge/skeg. Lapping the seam might be possible, I've not had success with my experiments. a 3mm H-channel is another option.
My experiments:
Braking the flanges ruptured the outer skin. Scoring on the inside first might prevent that. I don't know about scoring dibond. |
nope dont have any of that. are you saying i wont be able to bend the sheets i bought? should i get a refund or something?
normal aluminum is too floppy and you can just pinch to bend. i was hoping these would be a little stiffer like cardboard, but not too ultra stiff
