As I noted earlier I find the waxed whipping twine works best I do about ¾ of an inch on each line end. For lines that need to go thru my Lewmar clutches I also tape about the last 5 inches of the ends very tightly and neatly with white electrical tape and then I can push the lines back thru the clutches quite easily and I often leave the tape on these lines on top of the ends that are also whipped, but it can easily be removed once the lines have been pushed thru the clutches, personal choice. _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chuck S Sent: March 8, 2014 7:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Stus-List Whipping Hi David, I also have some hi-tech lines that won't seal with the hot knife, so I whipped the ends with whipping twine. There are many videos online if you google, "whipping a line". It's so easy, I whip the ends of just about all the lines on the boat, including my docklines. I melt the ends, but whip them to prevent separation. I also found heat shrink tubing in white somewhere, but haven't tried that yet Chuck Resolute 1990 C&C 34R Atlantic City, NJ _____ From: "David Knecht" <[email protected]> To: "CnC CnC discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 7, 2014 12:37:49 PM Subject: Re: Stus-List British and other sports cars (now Liquid electric tape) Related to this dipping of ends- I got a new mainsheet last summer out of VPC and the non-spiced non-wipped end is fraying badly. I found I could not melt it as I was accustomed to doing to seal the end. What is the best way to deal with this?
