Larry, could you explain how you arrive at 7%? My convoluted math says that a springback of 36" greater than the form radius (42") is 85.7% of the original radius (42"). This was, in fact, my original question, how to calculate springback.

Har! That's a darned good question. I think I read the 78" as the diameter, then multiplied the 42 by 2, and 78/84 is 93ish percent, or a 7% spring. I'm awake now, though.

I'm beginning to believe that this is seat-of-the-pants art rather than science.

Indubitably.
On the Wreck, it was "Measure with a micrometer, mark with a crayon, cut with an axe."
Someone here has a sig something like "Measure with a micrometer, cut with a hacksaw, hammer to fit."
Irony R Us. ;)
