Just get a schrader valve tool and tighten the schrader valve. Sometimes you can use a tiny screw driver or a pick and snug it uo to get you by.

If its just the core, a tool from the farm store or auto parts store and a pack of cores will fix ya up. Wally may have em too, never looked.

the part that is leaking is the actual part that you push to let air out....

Just get in there and turn it. You should be able to see a spot that you can stick the tip of the screw driver into. Get it outta the oven until you stop the leak. Turn the screw driver just like you would if it was  a screw. You need a pocket size screw driver.

Get a tool tho!!! It will never be used again but it is better to have and not need than need and not have.
Any place that sells/fixes tires should have a schrader valve tool.
(or a core tool  ;) )

Brandon looks like we were glueing up bows at the same time..I also put one in the oven tonight, a 58" recurve .. glad you got the leak fixed, tomorrow I am going to the auto parts store and buying a couple of spare scrader valves and the little tool to install them. I keep a complete spare hose arround just in case of a hose/plug failure, my spare is also long enough to fit my 64" longbow form..

It is a good idea to check the hose to see if it holds pressure by putting the inflated hose ends in a bucket of water and be sure they dont leek.  I think that Bingham also recommends that. I have had one of their hoses for about 12 years and I still check it before it is time to use it.  Sometimes the clamps need tightened and I have also had the valve loosen up like you did but caught it before glue up.

That is a very good reason to use heat strips instead of a hot box. The bow only needs to cook for 20-30 minutes, and the hose only stays under pressure for an hour or so...

If you end up with a slow leak you can just add some air until it's done, then repair your hose.

Good point Kirk. Hose pressure going up and down a few times can be trouble.

I have lots of hose but I do not have any plugs at this time.
