Dear Wade,The answer to your questions depend on more questions, like can you afford some spring back,is this panel being screwed to a frame work or is it a free swinging door?In general, bending plywood designed for curved work do the best job of holding tight to theshape of the form. 1/8" italian bending poplar and 3/8" bending ply are the most common choices.You need to decide if the extra cost is worth it, and that depends on your project. I will saythat the amount of bend you have described is gentle enough to use the materials you areconsidering. I would expect some spring back though.SincerelyDarryl Keil: I am new to this forum, and would like to get some information.I am : making some curved panels and was wondering what was the best : substrate to use.The panels will have a curve of about 1.5" over : 32".Can I use 3 layers of .25" mdf or plywood? Would bending ply work : better, or is this a shallow enough curve for the mdf or ply? Thanks : in advance. Wade Ellis
