DIY Wing Evolution

[James79]

Thanks for responding. I've made my own bladders for an xdeep ghost type and a razor sidemount type, both of which worked ok. I tried to make an oval one like you do but it wasn't great so maybe the swimring is the answer. Do they trap air because the shapes are different or am I imagining an issue that doesn't exist?
I have a dodgy shoulder and can't reach doubles valves so wont be needing to make a doubles wing any time soon!
Cheers

I haven't had any issues with air trapping. In my conversation with Tkdcol I broke out a pretty thorough how to on them... Want me to clean it up into a single document and send it?

Yes please, that would be great James, or was that an online conversation - can I go looking and find it myself?

It was in DMs. It's past my bed time, lol, so I'll copy and clean them up tomorrow to post.

Thanks James, that is pretty much as I did but with the homemade bladder instead of the pool ring. Nice to read your process, thank you!
Metric instructions?

Original posts were to someone in metric land... I work in both pretty interchangeably.

I do too, sewing is slightly easier in imperial I think.
