Title: BEST LAMINATING PRESSURE
Post by: EIGHTWGT on September 17, 2008, 03:45:00 PM

I have only built one bow - R/D long bow but do not remember what pressure I used when I inflated the fire hose...

What are your experianced suggestions ?

Thanks guys...

8wt,
I use 60 to 70 PSI and no problems. As it heats up it will gain some pressure.

I use rubber tire strips and all the pressure is how tight I wrap it. LOL I have no need for hose but it sounds like it would be a little easier.
