Strip: strip building

Merry Christmas everyone..... I wonder if you builders of the expodition Gilly are able to get your wrc beed and cove strips to bend to the forms without using cheater strips. I have been using a heat gun but still having a lot of trouble. My strips are 1/4 inch. I am wondering if I need to use steam and am not sure of the best way to get it. I am resisting cheater strip because it looks like it would be difficult to use with the beed and cove strips. Any thoughts? Joe
