Title: cat /silencers
Post by: shade seeker on May 05, 2008, 05:09:00 PM
I've got a couple of strips of cat wiskers for silencers... someone suggested crazy glue and dental floss for putting them on my flemish twist string... any other suggestions?

small cable ties work fine also.

Doo an internet google search on "installing cat wiskers".  There is an excellent picture tutorial.  Put on this way, they are adjustable so you can find the sweet spot.

Essentially you tie them on with some FF string in a manner that causes them to puff out in a ball (very good looking).  There are some other more simple (was that proper english?) ways, but the look isn't as nice and they aren't adjustable.

I do like the zip tie idea though.

Granny knots, pull hard. fold in half first, best silencer around.
