wefalck Posted April 1, 2019 #361 Posted April 1, 2019 Actually, some white glue or fast-drying varnish might be better ... also for the fingers . Not sure, why I wrote 'CA', as I don't really like the stuff anyway. mtaylor 1 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux
cog Posted April 1, 2019 #362 Posted April 1, 2019 the difference will be minimal, the resistance big enough, but you can't win if you don't try. I only wonder if the bond will be strong enough ... mtaylor 1 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures." Lord Nelson Search and you might find a log ...
KORTES Posted May 12, 2019 Author #363 Posted May 12, 2019 On 3/31/2019 at 11:48 PM, wefalck said: That is some artisanal talent 👍 I also would have thought of how to do this on the lathe. BTW, I had seen the 'pulling threads' somewhere before and think it gives better results than sewing on the sails. I was wondering, whether one couldn't splice the thick thread to the end of one to be pulled or to twist them together with some CA glue to make them easier to pull through, than the double thickness of the thicker thread Unfortunately , I don't have a lathe machine. This is the reason I have to apply non standard solutions. To my point of view , the glue , in this case , will not simplify the process , so the knot would be more appropriate.
