I wouldn't use that....notice it follows a constant radius arc which our 914s do not have.

I've done the baseball bat and 2x4 technique with the help of a friend.

True on the radius but the tool works great. Needs to be adjusted as you go and you need to keep the paint hot and flexible. Old paint will be too dried out and will crack even with heat. Also depends on the type of paint.

Baseball bat if you need a little, tools if you need more...
