ccoyle Posted September 3, 2020 Share #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 Share #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. mtaylor and Jim Rogers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

druxey Posted September 3, 2020 Share #5 Posted September 3, 2020 Are you reeving the laniard in the correct direction or is your line not 'hardened'? mtaylor 1 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
