The way you are proposing would create tighter bends on the inside of the curves and wider bends on the outside. Maybe it wouldn't be enough to make a difference though but why start with inaccuracy? Also the outer side set could be a different temperature than inner as one is modified by the bending form.

Thanks. My bender isn't wide enough for 2 sides either and the concern you mention about tighter bends on the inside is what I was thinking. Different enough to matter? Dunno but I guess theoretically a laminated side will end up with a tighter bend on the inside lamination even if bent individually to the same shape.
Was hoping someone had tried it and failed/succeeded to share the tale. Not sure what I'll do but the experimenter in me will probably try it someday.
Thanks again.
