the problem with standard dies are that they dont hug the material well enough. you can heat up a bit of 10mm solid bar and rap it around the top of the die to make the sides deeper and then simply weld it to die.

I fixed one of my dies like this. It works perfectly now, hasn't kinked or flattened a single bend since.

actually lining it with lead doesnt work as lead doesnt mind compressing, otherwise i wouldnt be spending my money on a dawn die... :lol:
