Hello how dit you make the connection on the bladder from the Schrader valve to the compressor connector. Thanks for your answer! Greetings from Amsterdam. www.dropbox.com/s/43xo5bs3bahozwt/bladder.jpg?dl=0
Greetings from Colorado USA!! I used this part: www.mcmaster.com/50785K273/ and this part www.mcmaster.com/4429K412/ and a 1/4 NPT quick connect fitting (not exactly a shrader valve). I used this part to control air flow. www.mcmaster.com/3368K29/. I also added a manifold with a pop valve, two hoses (one for each fire hose), and a pressure read out. Feel free to shoot me more questions if they pop up!
@@redbarrelskis3361 Hi I was thinking using a vacuum port but I don't know if it can hold the pressure the fire hose needs. www.scabro.com/images/thumbnails/465/465/detailed/0/VBU_2___3.jpg
@@DutchBootFitter Oh interesting, I can't say I've used that type of port before. My press can go up to 90psi but I usually only run it at ~25psi. As long as those can withstand that I'd bet you'd be fine. If you do give them a go let me know how it works. I really like hearing about that kind of stuff. Cheers!
So much work!
where did you get your silicone heater blankets from?

Why not just vacuum bag it?
Too much waste in the process. Trying to be as eco friendly as possible.
