ccoyle Posted September 3, 2020 #1 Posted September 3, 2020 Seems like I've seen this question come up before, but darn if I can't find it. The shrouds on my Wuetender Hund want to twist terribly when I attempt to tighten their lanyards - like 3-4 complete turns. Yikes! Tips, please?

ah100m Posted September 3, 2020 #2 Posted September 3, 2020 Once all the of shrouds on one side of a mast are set up I attach the sheer pole, first untwisting each shroud in turn, holding it in position and applying a drop of CA (super) glue to glue the shroud to the pole. Then I go back and properly tie the pole to each shroud. Works for me. You may need to touch up with a bit of matte paint to kill the gloss of the glue but usually the sheer pole and the fastening thread hides the joint. Jim Rogers and mtaylor 2

Believe me, I thought about using them anyway. Who but the experts at MSW would notice? 😏 mtaylor 1 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.
