Filling it with sand would be WAY too much time for what I do. BUT I have found the problem.
Home Depot's newer pipe has a seem inside of it. This pipe will kink everytime. The older pipe has NO seem inside and bends just fine everytime.
I bought some other pipe at an electrical store today and it bent just GREAT for me. I thought it might be because I moved the wheels out a bit, so I bought another pipe at Home Depot and tried it tonight too, and like before it kinked on me. I then cut the two pipes in the middle and miked the them to compair and they were both exactly the same thickness. The only difference between the two is the seem.
So - the seemed pipe will kink everytime no matter what and no matter where you put the seemed edge. They must make it different in a way that makes it weeker then the other non-seemed pipe.
Thanks for the help guys!
