I'll likely redo mine eventually even just to make it look nicer, but for now it's function over form. Bending these to look nice is turning out to be as much art as it is science.
Used the same stuff here. You're right though. It is as much art as science. I bend pipe for a living and the brake lines made me crazy. I went through 2- 30' rolls of the stuff just to do 25' of pipe. After the 2nd time around, all I was worried about was leaks. I stopped trying to make it perfect and started not looking at it anymore. LOL
