Steve K. Posted May 8, 2022 Share #1 Posted May 8, 2022 I have a very basic question. How do I thread the rigging ropes through the small block holes? Needle, or what? Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjdale Posted May 9, 2022 Share #3 Posted May 9, 2022 Steve, Welcome to MSW. The simplest answer to your questions is to soak the end of the thread (say 5mm or so) in a little CA glue (super glue). Then, once hardened, cut the end at an angle. This will give a hard, sharp end to thread through the block. Once fully threaded, you can simply cut off your sharp end.
