Hey folks, just got a second hand kite delivered. Having a tough time getting a tight knot out of one of the lines. Any handy tips? Ive tried soaking it in hot water and getting a pin in there but she wont budge.
Yeah so searched a little "harder" and found that if you hit it with a hammer after soaking it it works a treat. It does. Problem solved. Thanks for the help Chris you kook! Wish I could red thumb myself
When hammering knots, make sure you use a smooth faced ball pein hammer and tap lightly against another smooth surface with lots of saliva on it.
Or you could just use your Molars as Sci suggests. I use my teeth and chew for about 2 minutes with lots of saliva, then just work the knot with my finger nails. Easy!
Haven't found a knot that has gotten the better of me yet!
I always find that beer seems to magically get knots out of lines. I sit down with a beer or two, have a drink then chew the line between my molars and it loosens right up in no time.
