The reflectors do not have any compound curves. I could stretch it in the
hammer work, but I would have to add at least 1/3 to the area.
That would be a whole lot of hammering.

Interesting, but puzzling. You would think, if the material can be
hammer-forged, it could also be rolled....
Do you know anyone with a power hammer? That, at least, might make
the stretching bearable.
