Re: Strip: Steaming strips
In Response To: Strip: Steaming strips (SMehder)
: OK now I find that I need to steam some of the strips (particularly the deck
: sheer strip) on my Night Herron. Rather than try to build a 16' steam box,
: does anyone have alternative ideas? Do I steal my wife's steam iron and
: use this on various sections of the strip? Do I wet the wood in hot
: towels, and then dry with a dryer? What is the easiest workable solution?
: If I use a heat gun, will it affect the glue that is on adjoining strips?
A wet wash cloth heated in the microwave and then wrapped around the strip is helpful, but a hairdrier will do a lot. Wetting the strip before using the hair drier may help a bit too.
