Hi.

I just learned about oil canning on the hulls of U-boats.

How would you do this? A rounded or a flat blade or both?

Would the buckling be even throughout the hull or would there be a general unevenness throughout the hull?

Did the saddle tanks oil can?

Thanks everyone. Have a great night.

Thanks Friends

Alex. I use a curved blade. And many patience jejej. The oil efect ..... it is not equal. In the tanks of ballast it is not very well-known. Normal they were with many water pressure in his interior.

Good luck
