So I soaked these strips for a day or two. And they came out CONSIDERABLY darker than they were originally.

I had a similar experiance. I delaminated a hollow butt section with too much heat while getting a kink out of it. After making a new section I used the heat gun to finish delaminating the bad butt. It was plenty crooked after that!

I was mostly thinking about light colored bamboo.

Lewis,

Those areas were likely toasted during straightening, as you suggest.

Though I cannot say for certain, I suspect that already heat-treated bamboo, light in color, when soaked turns considerably darker and stays that way. Again, I'm not sure of that. But here's a recent experience. Several years ago I received some bamboo from John Bradford and Bob Radasch in Texas. They had built an... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (canerodscom) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/144708 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 08:55:31 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/144700/t/why-not-soak-.html#reply-144700 feeds@yuku.com (Lewis B) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/144700 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 06:11:38 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/144699/t/why-not-soak-.html#reply-144699 Phil ]]> feeds@yuku.com (HERMES2069) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/144699 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 06:05:04 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/144688/t/why-not-soak-.html#reply-144688

The moisture comes right out of the strips if you live in a dry environment. Even without baking mine will re-equilibrate in a week. With baking it just takes an extra minute or two. Since I'm a novice and it takes me a few weeks to get from soak to final planing there is not issue whatsoever.

If it looks like you can't get to the strips you can pull them out and put them back in and also I've soaked for up to 9 days with no ill effects. The longer you... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (BigTJ) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/144593 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 10:22:08 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/144256/t/why-not-soak-.html#reply-144256
Soaking after heat treating, the so-called wet-wet method also works. I prefer to rough taper wet, but let the cane firm up a bit for final taper, some do both wet. No problem with rusting planes, machines or forms. At least a couple of makers are doing for sale rods wet-wet.
