Re: Band work
yeah thats exactly what i mean, especially on the bulldog, what is used for that and how is it done? just a metal ring slid on the shank? or is there more technique to fitting it? thanks sorry for the newbie questions
Re: Band work
Repair bands are normally fitted by finding the closest undersize fit, heating the ring so it expands and pushing it on.
With heavier rings you will need to cut the shank down to get the ring on then glue it in place.
I've done lot's of repair bands but haven't tried my hand with a heavy ring yet even though I bought a dozen a couple of months back.

Re: Band work
What source do you get your bands from? I found some decent ones on pipe makers ephoriam(spelling?)
Re: Band work
I was lucky enough to buy a mixed boxed of nickel, copper & gold plated on ebay from a French seller in St.Claude.
Most online pipe suppliers sell bands but I think the prices are way high. The best selection I have come across is at P E Hermans.

Re: Band work
No worries there - I've got very little in disposable income these days with the kids dancing in competitions all over the place, the school tuition, etc. I can't recall the last time I paid cash money for something outside of household necessities. I've been trading and bartering for pretty much everything I need these days.prolax14 wrote:haha alright ill keep my eye out on ebay...idk if im gonna be able to out bid kurt though

Re: Band work a little late and off topic
so now that we know how to install a band is there any way to replace a band that has fallen off without using a new band or glue?

Option 1: epoxy (not technically glue!).bloodysafety wrote:so now that we know how to install a band is there any way to replace a band that has fallen off without using a new band or glue?
Option 2: pin it on with tiny little pins, which you'll have to make yourself.
Option 3: cut the band and resolder it using hard jewelers' solder. It will now be a hair smaller.
And yes, I've done all three. I much prefer epoxy.

Re: Band work
aok so epoxy seems to be the most suitable method in this case. the pinning thing sounds like it would be more for a cracked band or what ev.! good ideas and thanks for the tip!
