5" (ish) Firehose???

Post by Telemark Mark »

I've been vacuum bagging for a year now. A fire chief friend of mine just gave me a bunch of hose that is about 5" flat/deflated (maybe just a little wider) and so I'm thinking of building a pneumatic. I'm assuming it is about a 3" diameter hose when inflated. Is this hose worth using in a press or is it too small? I'm thinking of using two hoses with a cat track.

Thanks[/b]

That's what size I am using. I just tried to make sure it had a small area to inflate in to.
