MauiFlamenco -> Bending cypress- Need technical advice (Feb. 17 2014 7:26:00)
|
lightly sprayed 2.0mm and wrapped in tinfoil. I feel like I left my cookies in the oven for too long, and they baked to extra crispy instead of just bent. I have the ability to control the bending blanket for whatever temp I want. Im a rookie, and wondering at what temp should I start to clamp down the waist. 200F? 240F? 280F? 300F? I can hear the wood sizzling with the steam, but I really need to know when to apply the bending stress onto the waist. I glued my tailblock out of the mold, and then when I went to fit back into the mold, one of my sides lost its curvature. when I slowly compressed the mold around it, the rib gave in, and full fractured. Its painful to experience a perfectly sanded rib go from beautiful to broken. I need some technical advice. Thanks guys
