There will be a lot of trained people to do this kind of FSP available soon. All of the TSA employees will have all of the training necessary just need to introduce them to duct tape.

Thanks again for the welcome. Well now that I can see the pics of members shops and their work, I think I jumped into the deep end of the pool. The equipment in some of your shops is amazing!

I need some guidance on Lancaster style shrinkers and stretchers. Trying to find used, made in America tools. I check the usual places but I am wondering if I may end up replacing the jaws anyway if I buy used. The made in USA stuff in Eastwood, is it just relabeled from a known manufacturer? Which brand would you guys recommend? Thanks,

Jay, the absolute best bang for the buck is the set that Neil Dunder at Gitzit, sells. These have the stippled jaws, that greatly reduce the marking on the metal. They work on both steel and aluminum. I have two set of them and am very happy with the way they perform. Much better than any other Lancaster style shrinker/stretcher that I have used. You can contact Neil at 317-645-5724 or e mail at sales@gogitzit.
