Anyone know where I might fight heating blankets that have more than a measly few inches of wire, and don't use a plug so wide I have to grind it off to get it to fit a typical router control? I know ... this seems like elementary stuff, but I can't seem to find such tools designed by someone that actually uses them and thus creates them for functional use. Thanks to anyone that has a lead! Frank Ford would knock these out of the park, if he made them. I want the string winder of bridge blankets. |

I got my FB and FB extension and bridge heat blankets form from Keenovo https://keenovo.store/collections/standard-keenovo-silicone-heaters/products/keenovo-silicone-heating-blanket-musical-instrument-guitar-ukulele-mandolin-side-bending-wood-working-pvc-board-sheet-bending-heater ebay outlet https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/keenovo?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 Work fine, I use my own shop built PID heat controller, not any of theirs. |

Timely post - we just retired our bridge blanket for failure of the lead at the blanket. Our next will get pickled in high temp copper RTV and spliced to a 24" section of zip cord with overmolded plug. I suspect the problem is that the manufacturers deliver the blankets with the leads in the raw - just the wire and jacket, without the molded cover seen on the larger blankets. Even with shrink-wrap, it makes the wire exit from the blanket a flex/failure & wear point. If some enterprising supplier would spec the same cord for the bridge, bridge plate, and fretboard blankets as they do for the full-sized blankets, we'd gladly pay more for a more durable, reliable product. |
