I have not had that situation come up yet.Rattan was originally steamed in the factory
to bend in different curved positions and then put in a jig sort of speak and held in
place for how ever many days they would do it.It was then screwed or nailed into place
depending on the design and construction of the particular rattan piece of furniture.
My best advice is to take the piece that needs to be attached away from the piece
of furniture and figure out how it can be steamed bend it into the position it
originally was , and then clamp it down for several days so it will stay in that exact
position you want it.I have a situation coming up on the bar where I am going to need
to have rattan curved to go around the edge of the new bar counter top, and I don't
know how I am going to do that yet myself.
