Resin

[Darrin Turnbull]

Just been cleaning my stuff after cutting a Weymouth pine ( Pinus strobus )

Makes the job that much harder. That's way i never wanted to do this job "Zapfenpflücker " .

Never heard of it in Great Britain.

It looks like it would be very sticky - I used to put my rope in a pillow case, tie it up and put in the washing machine and it came out looking like new if that helps!

Have you seen the recent advice on rope washing?

Teufelberger advice =

'Our tests reveal after eight washings with powder detergent the residual strength of a fiber ropes is 58%. In comparison, washing gel reduced tensile strength by 22%! After 8 washes SCRUBBA produces the best test results achieved with the least amount of tensile strength lost.'

 

holy moly !
