Thanks Yellowwood,
    I'm looking at 3/8" mule tape. I'll ask for 150' and have some paracord on hand just incase that isn't enough mule tape. I'll let folks know how it turns out once I get my form built.

The mule tape has no stretch in it after initial stretch it's impressive stuff ,I'm making a T handle & some of it to pull dear out of the woods to the trail it's like cloth strapings it's weaved in all directions , it would cover more of the hose vs the para cord I'm sure the para cord would work to but would probably stretch some !

The Paracord didn't seem to stretch.  If it's tied down tight it should be ok.  Tied tight, all the air squeezed out of the hose and hose layed down centered seemed to be the most important aspects.  I'm thinking of getting some mule tape but will be doing at least one more bow with the Paracord.

Just to let you guys know on this thread using the wood dowels @ 70 psi and breaking them at glue up was voodoo for me ,I thought the bow would be ok but had a glue line failure as a result , so my school of hard knocks suggestion to any body making one of these go metal ,I'm redoing with metal before the next glue up will let you know !

   70 PSI...??   :o    Why...??  What is your school of thought on such a high psi??  Plus if you are putting it in an oven the air can expand and cause even more pressure....

I use that method when putting the bamboo on my bamboo backed laminated bows. It works fine for me. I have dozens of bow strings that I've collected over the years. I use these for the rope, no stretch and they have a loop on the end to hook on the pegs. If covered in saran wrap first I don't get glue on my strings and can still use them for tillering later.
