Superpeterbilt Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I made some collapsed bags for a dump trailer tag axle by sticking the air bag in a C clamp. I applied some heat with a heat gun, and slowly applied pressure with the clamp. It worked perfect, and wrinckled it just like it would be. It helps to clamp the clamp in a vise, unless you have 3 arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
