That will make even the toughest cardboard bend easily. It also works on Coroplast (plastic corrugated panels).

I could make the cuts with scissors and tape the edges together exactly how I wanted them. Too flimsey, but then I applied papier mache to the outside and it firmed up the entire thing. Lastly, I added the tinfoil. I made a parabolic cooker the same way. These work very well. I made one extra-large panel cooker this way too with 4' reflective panels. It cooks best of all my homemade ones. I made one from a THIN round cardboard that was used to protect the top of a circular cardtable in the box.
