Heat Strip Help??

I busted a wire or burned out one of my heatstrips. I know Binghams has them for, drum-roll, $245 for a pair of 1 1/2" x 78". OUCH!
Does anyone else here know where else to find heat strips? I suspect they are used in some "other" industrial application and can perhaps be had a bit more reasonably.

Thanks, I located them last night after I posted this thread. In Lewistown, MT of all places. Going by stock items I suspect their quote may be a couple hundred $$ less than Binghams!

Steve,
There IS another site. I had it in my favorites however got rid of it as I'm not building bows and have the airhose equipment should I get into it.
Look on here or the other site I'm sure I've posted it a few times.

i just talked ( by email) with Quincy at
www.hi-heat.com
, about a heat strips one 2"x72" with thermostat, is $118.20 with a one time eng. charge of $30.00, he also said that this is the one most bow makers are ordering, hope it works as i just ordered one,, take care

Yeah, Quincy is who I spoke with. It was kinda funny, he said "any chance you found out about us on Tradgang"! A small world!

I have a question. Can someone explain how these work so much quicker than a hot box? I use smooth-on the curing time is 4+hrs @ 180. I'm just confused as to how these heat strips can cure in an hour (from what I've heard) also, how do you use them? Do you put them on the lams under your pressure hose in the form and do you only use one strip on top and none on the bottom? I just can't visualize how these work
Thanks

The heat is directly transfered to the glue-up is how they work. Kinda the like the difference between being in a hot room and having a heating pad.
There is one strip above and one below. My configuration is lower form, 1/8" rubber, heat strip, metal strip, laminations, metal strip, heat strip, hose, upper form.
With geat strips you'll reduce your cure time to 50-60 mintes.

I thought that the heat strips will reduce the time by 3 hrs. I know in the heat box it is a 4 hr bake time and I heard with the strips it is an hour of cure time also. How much different are these strips then the ones from Bigham? The Bigham strip kit is one right? I would like to cut down production time by 3 hrs but for 1 hour difference are these stripes worth the $118. Please dont think this is a rude question. Just trying to weigh the pros and cons thats all

Cons? There are none if you make more than a couple bows a year.
