Abstract
A flexible autoregulating heater with a latching mechanism to form the strap that may be applied about work to be heated, the strap holding the work during the heating and subsequent cooling cycle. The strap may then be removed or permitted to remain in place to provide a resulting binding force about the finished product. A band strapping tool is modified to not only draw the strap tight but apply electric current to activate the heater.
