Funny you brought that up. I watched that video and sent it to a friend who does wooden boat repair. He uses steam to bend replacement boards. The downside is anhydrous ammonia is nasty stuff. They showed us this video in EMS class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znQwAcOQffQ"There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

(Way too sensitive for nefarious applications, and not particularly powerful). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_triiodide More fun than bending wood.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,289 #7 April 29, 2015 It was a popular toy among the engineers when I was in college . Keyholes, desktops, anyplace where a small bang could make someone jump to great effect. Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.
