New to Hanging...From a pumper

Hello all. Just wanted to get some feedback from everyone.

I have a few questions concerning my new “homemade” hanger.
I made on myself using Bib’s plans with the “Quikplumb” tubing and
the hose clamps. I modified it a bit by splitting the tubing so I could
add a few beads of clear silicon for added support.
My questions are:

Today, I only used about 2 pounds with 2 10 minutes sets. After both,
the head was cold. Does this usually mean I have wrapped to tight or that
the hanger is to tight?

Also, I have found very little info in using this type of hangers, most of what I have
found has been about the commercial Bib’s and the Bib knock-offs

Also, I would like to keep pumping, most of what I have found says to hang, then pump.
Is this correct?

Thanks

kooky,

Two pounds for ten minutes should not cause much if any problem in circulation. That you got a cold head with this little intensity means you cut off circulation some other way besides the stress. Check wrap tightness first, but then also check the tightness of the homemade Bib. It is not as forgiving as a production model. Two pounds does not require a lot of tightness.

I don’t know what this means. You use the homemade Bibs about the same as you would a production model. There might be different problems associated with each. But there are many threads concerning homemade Bib, problems and solutions.

>Also, I would like to keep pumping, most of what I have found says to hang, then pump. <

Do any other PE pursuits that might lead to skin irritation or fluid buildup AFTER you hang. Never before.

Thanks Bib. I found the info I was looking for on here about 15 minutes after I posted.

Thx.
