whipping or dipping?
Well, I admit to using electrical tape on occasion, but only on the cheapo
synthetic lines that I use to hold down my winter covers . These are cut to length as I proceed and are going to be scrapped when I take the covers off in the spring. But I need to stop the ends fraying out as I shall check and tighten them as necessary during the winter months after the gales. "Scotty" wrote in message ... I use duck tape. Scotty "Capt. JG" wrote in message ... I have several lines on my boat that were whipped properly, and they're a beautiful sight. However, when I replaced my fender lines recently, I dipped the ends instead of taking the time to whip them. So far, it seems just fine, the only difference seeming to be the asthetic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whipping_knot or http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs...rvlet/SiteSear chView?catalogId=10001&Ntx=mode%2Bmatchallpartial& keyword=wh ipping&Ntt=whipping&N=0&storeId=10001&Ntk=All_2&dd key=SiteSe arch (http://tinyurl.com/ycx7os) -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
