I am about to begin building laminated bows after messing around with building some self bows.  So which is better oven or heat strip and why?

from the little that I know about heat strips they can fail, then you have to buy new ones. an oven will still work if 1 bulb burns out. you would have to have a complete parts list in order to compare cost effectively. some guys have had very good with heat strips however. I have an oven    :)
