Flyonline, i bought a board of it awhile ago so I’d guess it was imported. It’s beautiful stuff. Looks similar to Koa.

Sure is, I ran my hands over a stack of it a while back but they didn't have anything in a size that was usable so I had to pass it up, but I'll be back (when I can  :banghead: ).

I would give JB Weld a try first for a fix, really slop it on inside the break and out. It might not be pretty but it may work.

I JB welded a motor block back together on a small block Ford once. It was broken out where the motor mount bolts on. I cleaned it up good and glued it up. I drove it for a lot of years and it was still holding, never leaked a drop of coolant

OK guys, we are in the company of a serious bowyer. It's not often you see a gallon kit of EA-40 in the workshop!

Don't know If you have the same stuff in the States.
That are valves for Alloy Rims.
I Just make a hole in the Hose and screw them in with some washers, before i Close it with the clamp.
No Secret Sauce there.

I have also other nicer hoses with milled plugs.
But those are used for my fix Forms.
For Prototype Forms, i use the ugly ones.
