In any case, they must be in a row.

Hemp is tried and true..but I use nylon for sheets, cept the 100% jib
sheet it's big high tech, and the halyards they are stainless. I'm not
racing and like a bit of forgiveness. Nylons cheap and a pleasure to
work with.

Not quite right (I think). Here's how I understand it. A burn starts at one end
of the cylinder near the spark plug and goes down towards the top of the piston.
It expands evenly and pushes the piston down. An explosion starts somewhere in
the middle of the fuel/air and pushes outwards really fast in all directions. It
wastes energy and is too fast so it knocks against the piston and sometimes can
even blow off a head gasket. An explosion isn't really a burn.

Cheers,
Ellen

It doesn't have the flexibility to get around the corners..

The hot melted ends are good for cleaning out one's ears. :-)

I personally recommend the pointy end of a scratch awl for that, Jon.

Yes, it is right.

Why would an explosion start in a different place? It
originates at the spark plug, doesn't it?

Yes, that's also right.

Yes it is. Both in the context of internal combustion, and
other circumstances. Dynamite, for example, is a highly
combustible substance that burns very very rapidly.

Nylon for sheets? You must be mistaken, Dacron maybe but surely not
stretchy nylon.

If it does, I simply put more duck tape over the quacks.

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.
