line question

Postby darippah » Tue May 27, 2014 4:36 am

bought a cheap set of 10m lines on ebay and the ends seem to catch on other lines due to the way they were made. any ideas on how to fix this? thinking to try duck tape... unless I can just cut the pieces off?

see attached image for what the issue is

dont have a sewing machine

sorry for the dumb question :nono:

Try getting some heat shrink , just be very careful heating it on , too much heat could damage the lines , use a heat gun or hair dryer , don't use a naked flame. :thumb:

A little bit of whipping twine would clean that up..
