Blue HMA lines

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any input on relining with the new blue HMA lines? Just looking for somemore info on this subject. Thanx



I am assuming that you are referencing our 350 lb Technora. They have a UV inhibitor and also a synethic coating to reduce "picks".


They usually last 1.5 - 2 times as long as untreated ones.

The problem is that they cost a little more due to the fact they take longer to manufacture.

Fingertrapping non-coated ones are easier than the coated ones and also locating the marks for installation.

Anyone I've ever seen get the blue/purple HMA's has not come back for seconds when the next reline is due.



I have never seen the purple ones...

We do have repeat customers with our line sets, but they are somewhat limited.
I am only in the shop about 6 months out of the year with my present other job.

I would have had MEL reline my VX a second time with the blue 350 HMA. However, just need to confirm he is not too busy and can get back to you when you need it.

If Mel is out of the shop, I can do the same work for you as he set me up for it. The blue HMA lasts' longer than you would think, we have a VX out here with around 1000 jumps on a 350 lb lineset. Mel, are you home?
