How far can I bend the PEI sheets?

Been a while since I was last here and I was given what amounts to a shopping list of things that "should" solve my problems. One thing that I've never seen addressed is how far can I bend the PEI sheets to unstick a print? I'm super hesitant and I keep it to maybe a shallow parenthesis but I've seen some people on youtube going full banana or even more. So I was curios as to how far you folks bend your sheets. Assume I'm using the official sheets from the Prusa store.

As long as you follow the advice about when to use a seperator and you allow the model to cool before removing it from the sheet it's rare to need more than 15° or so of flex, both directions, but occasional bends twice that are OK.

Cheerio,
