Flipping a rubber extruded profile
Flipping a rubber extruded profile
(OP)
I have a spiral cross section of an extruded silicone profile of about 50ft. I want to flip it and the smaller radius end to be on top. Can be done manually but takes a lot of effort and time.
Anyone has any idea?
I'll try to use a cone to open the profile and try to close it starting with the bigger radius.
Thank you

Now a spiral has to one end a large radius (on the exterior) and a small radius (on the inside).
Don't forget it is rubber.
I have to flip profile so the small radius end to get on the outside. In this case the "hose" will be tight.
By hand you have to open this profile flat, and roll it starting with the larger radius end.
It is used to protect cables
