Backing Strap
In Response To: Re: Heat gun (Marc Upchurch)
another trick to the metal bending strap method is that if you can put tension on the strap while you do the bending it will support the wood plies much better
I often use fiber tape as a backing strap when bending laminations. It may not be as good as metal banding, but it can make the difference between breaks and no breaks.
