whbd18 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2006 You cant heat up plastic because it will lose its stiffness and you can heat up and curve any wood blade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whbd18 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2006 usually when i heat up wood blades i end up accidently de lamianting them when then you are heating them for too long or you are holding them too close to the heat source for too long in 1 area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branches were easier Those Rhino-Wrap things with the black fibre? Never had any of them but if you say so. I meant to say in regards to whbd18´s post that with the Christians you could basically expose them to direct heat on one spot for a minute and they wouldn´t de-laminate. Once the blade was fully heated you could basically step on them and they would twist and turn but never break or crack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hated the feel of the old christians, they felt dead even when they were new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkancho 6 Report post Posted March 14, 2006 When you want to curve a wooden blade, just make sure you dont heat it up to a point where it's too hot to touch with your hands. I used to curve it using my door but after breaking some blades, I just ended up getting that procurve thing and I'm loving it. How are the new Christians because I just ordered some tapered blades earlier today. It was a pretty good deal too. 4 Blades for $80 CAD and I dont have to pay for shipping because they're shipping it to a local Play it Again Sports for me to pick up.
