I made a jig from 1/4" aluminum, it's 3/16" smaller all the way around than the lip,the edges are beveled to the angle I desire for the lip "curl" I center the jig on the lip and clamp it in the vise ( soft jaws) I then tap the edges to form it with a small lead hammer,I'll post a picture of it tonight if anyone is interested.

A good run is better than a bad stand!
