Repair bending blanket
My bending blanket overheated in a spot and blistered up. On a later bend when pressing on it the blister rubbed off.
Does anyone know how to repair a 1 inch hole in the silicon. I am thinking something like automotive silicon in a tube or silicon tape? https://www.flickr.com/photos/194462...posted-public/ Last edited by Fathand; 07-05-2022 at 10:58 AM. |

Use high temperature silicon. Bend using the un-repaired side. You will probably get some offgassing for a while. Or just use it as it is with the bad side out. Watch your temperature, use a metal strip on either side of the blanket to keep the temperature even. If you are planning on bending many sides order another blanket, while the above will work it is not great as heat is concentrated at the wires. I doubt you will find much else to use to repair it. Cean it with alcohol first and make sure it ir evaporated.

You most likely would have no luck "gluing" them to your blanket, but they can be easily cut to fit and will protect your work as long as you aren't going over 500 degrees F. Last edited by Rudy4; 07-05-2022 at 07:40 PM. |

Not sure how long it will last but I've done two sides so far. https://www.homedepot.ca/product/per...0ml/1000169229 |

With shipping well over $100 back ten years ago and I only planned on making 2-3 guitars. It was more of a challenge, could I make a guitar without buying a bunch of stuff. Now if I only kept to that plan...
