Title: Wrapping the string with yarn?
Post by: PaulDeadringer29 on May 24, 2014, 11:23:00 AM
Can someone give me a quick how-to, on wrapping yarn on the string where the string touches the limb? I know it's got to be fairly simple, I just want to get it right the first time. Thanks.

Paul,
 Just go to the How to forums and there is a How to already there...Pretty simple way to wrap the yarn...

Thanks. I found it. I remember seeing this and thinking I wanted to save it and then got distracted. Even bought the yarn. So, we circle back!

It might be a good idea to every once in a while remove the yarn and re-wax the string loops as well as the string to keep water from settling into the string fiber...I make my own strings and I wax really well before putting on the wool wrap but I'm sure someone out there doesn't but for me mine gets wax cause I ain't taking any chance's if I can help it...

Not to mention it's a good idea to also inspect the string loops and where you wrapped it incase sand or something might of worked it's way through the wool wrap and rubbing on the string...Better be safe then sorry I was always told!   :jumper:
