Any suggestions on methods for heating parts up to separate glue joints? I've used an Iron up to this point, but I've burned a couple out, and would like something a little more sophisticated. Stew Mac doesn't seem to have anything, and LMI's look way too big for heating up a bridge, or fret board. |

Look for "Keenovo" on eBay. I bought a few and they’re working great so far. Just make sure to buy units that are set for your local voltage and hook them to the LMII controller. Works like a charm. Pierre Guitares Torvisse |

LMII does have blankets for bridges, fingerboard extensions and fingerboard, by the way. But Keenovo's are much cheaper and are working great so far for me. Pierre Guitares Torvisse |

I have lmi's repair blankets. They are a good size but they have backwards plugs that fit in their controllers. https://www.lmii.com/45-bending-heating ... glue_joint |

Check an industrial supply house like McMaster Carr. Lots of sizes are available, but you you'll have to add you own plug. |

Pierre Guitares Torvisse I noticed yesterday there were several more pages of options on the LMI website. I'll check the keenovo stuff out, thanks. |
