When to do fender beads?
I am making a set of fenders for a Mercer. Should I put the rolled beads in before or after I slip roll the radius? I have seen two ways to pre stretch. One with a wheel and one by reverse rolling the bead in the bead roller. What are the pros and cons of each way?

I did something similar recently. I shaped the fenders then put the beads in. The bead caused the crown to flatten slightly so I modified the dies to have 2 degree sloped shoulders. Then I ran the fenders through the beader again and got the crown back.
