I'm trying to make a 70's style background consisting of bands of color that rise and fall like a sin wave. I used a two point bezier curve to build 1/2 (180 degrees) of the wave (the two points are located at the trough and crest). The problem occurs when I try to give the band some height (duplicate the curve, move it down, and 'join' endpoints); the ends are thiker than the middle. I think the problem is that I must have a perfect sin (or cos) wave. If anyone knows of a free plugin that will do this, or a method for doing this I would apprecate the help. 

Thanks, Nathan
