How would you have your bladders overlap? You wouldn't want that in any matter. If you space out your bladder a bit it won't hurt as long as the pressure is concentrated evenly over the cat. Just do what everyone else is doing. Use Google images to see. https://www.google.com/search?q=snowboard+pres...

Took the jump and upgraded our shop to a nicer location. I was in the back of a local snowboard/Boat shop. The new spot has some nice retail space for retail and a little warehouse space for a factory floor. After spending the past 3 years living cheap and pushing every extra dollar to building the ...

that 9700 should work well. everyone you talk to wants you to have 7800/9800+ You might have to make a few calls to distributors to find one that is helpful. Jtech or sawgrass inks work well. Buying inks will cost a chunk. see if you can get your distributor to include a ICC profile so you can print...

Sublimation on tops and bases

I got some answers from a bud that is an electrician. The short, just over engineer the circuit. 40amp SSR, heavier wire, and no need for that fuse that was blowing. Some explanation: As wires and circuit heats up resistance goes up as well so it takes more amps to power. The heat also causes disimi...

I pulled the 30 amp fuse. I'm not blowing fuses anymore, but I'm Now I am getting a strange electrical click/spark sound. Thinking it is overloading my 25amp SSR and should upgrade to 40amp? Troublemaker, Yes. 240, 2 hot wires, and both do go into the PID. I'm not sure what you mean by fusing them. ...

I personally like using a crib. If you go with the crib keep in mind it takes multiple passes. The pics for that crib you are thinking of will make it super heavy. So making a bunch of passes would be a pita. With your router you can make the crib. Take some mdf Router you max depth until your taper...

I too am not an electrician. I'm going take that fuse out. I think it will be fine. I have a line going to ground that I didn't include. I don't have the box in front of me. other than that ground I think that is the wire up. Am I missing something? I followed the schematic on the how to page http:/...

Forgot to label that the blanket is at 18amps.
