Great start to a bad morning...

I went about rolling the edge a different way. Take the conduit and use duct tape to tape the leading edge of the roll to the conduit. Clamp vise grips to the end of the conduit. Crank the vise grips and roll the leading edge around the conduit. The shorter end (top) will finish rolling before the longer (bottom) end. Over roll for your needs. It is easier to take bend out than to put it in. Remove tape from area that it finished. Roll again until next section is finished. Remove more tape and repeat. Bend everything back to fit and rivet.

This is quite easy to repair and move on. One thing I have noticed is that you talk about bolting downthe tube. Sorry if I understand it wron but:

I have a different approach. I use cheap alu tube and cut it in the required lengths plus about two inches for every piece of leading edge that needs rolling. Then drill 4 to 6 1/4 inch holes around the circumference of the tubes, close to both ends. Then use duct tape to tape the tube to the leading edge.
Then with the rudder or what ever safely on the bench, I put two screwdrivers into two holes and start rolling. As it bends, you then reposition one screwdriver at a time. This way I do it in only a fw minutes and no chance of damaging anything.

Not so clear, but maybe you can see it on this page.

Jan,
I like your method and will definitely give it a try on the elevator, flaps, etc...

Checkout this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fdnej5bASxg, it show rolling the leading edge of an elevator. Very simular to the methods Daivd and Jan mentioned.
