i have a small knot in my outside line of my kite. its too small to pick out.
and my bridle where i connect my kite line to the kite the things are begining to fray.
the line shouldnt snap under pressure or do anything funny should it.
and i think i should replace the bridle connecter things, how much do they cost$$$.
You can get any knot out of any line with this technique, and without damaging the line.
You need a bit of water/detergent mix to wet the line and the knot.
Place the wetted knot on a hard, very shiny/smooth surface, a ceramic tile, or smooth, polished metal surface is best.
Gently tap the knot, with the round end of a ball pean hammer, rotate the knot 90 degrees after each tap, and tap it several times.
Then work the knot back and forth between four fingers, you need some fingernails.
The knot should have swelled a bit.
If it will not come lose with finer pressure, go back and tap it some more, amking sure it is well wetted.
Then try again with your fingers, you should be able to just pick it undone after 1 -3 session under the hammer.

PS - I've never been unable to undo any knot using this method.
