Ibex Side Bending Straps

These flexible stainless steel Side Bending Straps are used to put even pressure on a side while bending it on a bending iron. They push on the fibres of the wood and keep them compressed, reducing the chances of the grain splitting out. The straps come in two sizes for different instruments. They can be used with with the handles, or by pushing directly on the strap closer to the area of the side that's being bent. - For bending sides for musical instruments with a bending iron - Stainless steel with handles - Made in USA - Guitar/Cello 125mm x 460mm x 0.30mm (5" x 18" x 0.012") - Violin/Mandolin/Ukulele 50mm x 300mm x 0.25mm (2" x 12" x 0.01")
