I'm into a couple of projects tapering and bending schedule 40 pipe.
I've been pluging the end with fresh sod to hold the sand in for bending --
and it always falls out.
        What do you use to plug in the sand for pipe bending?

Cut the pipe somewhat longer than you need to allow for the straight
sections at the ends where the plugs are as well as where you secure it in
the bending process..  Drive in a slightly tapered wood plug and bend.
