well I'm a carpenter so to tell you to bend plywood not a very good idea but usually to bend wood you soak it in water,press it against something with the same form you want and hold itin place tightly til dry .but you bend a little .let it dry then bend a little more and you keep doing that til you reach your goal.still don't advise on bending plywood
AnswerScore the backside of the plywood every 1/2 inch with a groove made with a radial saw to a depth no greater than half the thickness of the plywood. This will allow you to make curves and bends with it. If you cut too deep the plywood can break or crack during bending. Only score the backside on the area you want to bend about 6 inches in each direction and not the whole sheet, because this would be a waste of time. Using this method, you can get some really good turns like a 4 inch diameter turn on a 90 degree turn. Use trial and error to see what works best for the application you prefer. Wet the frontside to keep it from splitting or separating and don't try to make bends on knotholes or imperfections in the plywood as they don't want to bend well.
