Things You Will Need
While the process of molding PVC is not difficult, there are some tricks to help ensure that the results are worth the effort.
-
Cap one end of the pipe and tightly pack it with sand. Cap the other end.
-
Put on leather gloves for protection and use a heat gun or other high heat source to heat the PVC until it is soft. Keep the PVC at least an inch and a half from the heat source so it doesn't burn.
-
Slowly bend the PVC into shape. The sand will ensure that the pipe stays round and doesn't kink or flatten.
-
Hold the PVC in shape until it cools. Dip it into cold water to speed the cooling time.
