Title: Heat strips. PRICE QUOTE ADDED!
Post by: 2treks on February 13, 2015, 03:06:00 PM
I will be ordering Heat strips in the next few days.
If you want some let me know.
36" and 74" long.
1.5", 1.75" or 2" wide.

They are NOT Hi-heat brand. They are thicker and more durable. However, They are NOT bullet proof so be sure you use them properly.

I don't have controllers but can order some if enough people need one.

I have used the strips for over 10yrs and my very first strip just died a few weeks ago. It was over 10yrs old and I had pinched it bad when I first got it. If you are careful, the strips work great.

Terry,  I am seldom in a hurry to cure the epoxy.
So I cure at about 100-120 for a couple hours.  I have cooked bows faster but I personally don't like to go to fast with the cure.
I have all the PM's from you guys. I will reply early next week when I get my new price quote.

Thanks,
CTT

Not yet. I was in the shop all day so I didn't have a chance to call and bug them. Maybe tomorrow, if not then Monday.

I finally received the quote for the heat strips.

I will list the price based on a minimum order of four per size. If I get a request to order less than 4 for a particular size, I will have to adjust the price and will let you know before I place the order.(you can still order 1 pair, but the price maybe slightly higher if I don't get a request for more).

I cannot get a decent price on the controllers so I will just let you know what I use and you can order it direct.

I also need to pre-pay for the strips, so if you are wanting to order, I will need the payment up front, and they are saying it is a 2-3 week lead time. I can do pay pal or Credit Card over phone.

Again, these strips are 50% thicker than what I have ordered in the past and so they are more robust than previous options.
Here are the prices per pair.
-------1.5" -------1.75"--------2"
x 36"  $145        $155         $165

x 74"  $250        $280         $315

PLEASE PM ME if you want to order.
Thanks
