I've seen a picture of graphlite (TM) rod bent into a loop with a
radius
of about an inch or so. Now, imagine that you want a 2" diameter
ring, like a key ring. Would you bend the rod into a circle and glue
the ends together?

I think not!


Yup, that's the way I get it, spools of 1000 to 1500 feet.

As you probably noticed, when you take it off the spool, it
straightens out. I want to shape it so that it is curved without
any applied stress.
