think it's more designed as an exercise in making a bend rather than doing it the easy way

Thinking back when I was still working, a Sparky Mate of mine who did his time with British Rail, came up to me on a job and asked what I thought of his plastic tube job (he had never used it before) all the bends and sets were singed, he apparently thought you needed to heat the tube prior to bending, he was surprised when I shoved a spring in and bent it over my knee.

The early stuff had to be warmed, else it split. the first time I saw it done without heat I was gobsmacked

I was using it in 1963 and it didn't need heating

OK I'm happy to accept there were different types out there, the stuff I used was very shiny and didn't have much more sag than steel, come to think of it, it probably looked very similar to black laquered. I remember trying to bend a length into my Austin Maxi (maximum diagonal length around 8.5ft) and is split like a bamboo cane.

Not doubing you sunray, just saying thats all, I recall now some of the cheaper stuff was very brittle

I assumed all the early stuff was the same. I always tried to use fittings to avoid bending. I thought it didn't look as nice as steel with the lovely formed bends.
So different now... spring in, quick flick over the knee, sorted
