I posted this elswhere and thought it may also suit here ...

A simple tool I make to fit the occasion is very simple and fast from 3 bits of tube as per the picture. Weld 2 tubes at each end with enough space to slide your sheet through and add a handle as shown.

Just slide your sheet in and lift the bar and it grips and rolls the sheet around the upper tube evenly. The diameter of the top tube of course determines your radius.
