Zeke - I hadn't thought of it but agree with you that the fender lip has to be able to move along the surface of whatever is being used to bend it. That makes me think that duct tape on the bat might not be a good idea (unless I use a crapload of it).

aircooledsonly - I see, you cut the handle off the bat and use it with the fat end facing out, though I can't visualize what you mean when you say you use the floor jack to increase tension. What is it pressing against?
