Wooly Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Having problems getting my living rubber frog hair to look good after tying -- My issue is that when I pull hard enough to get all the strands to pop free (when cutting) , I get a kink in the rubber about half way up. If I pull too light, the strands won't seperate when cutting. Any advice ??? thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 This is the first time I've heard of this but I think I know what may be happening. I used rubber for only a short time because I got tired of the melting and trying to store them all winter without them getting messed up. Anyway when I was taking the ruined skirts off I would just make a quick cut of the thread and pull the strands and what happened was that as I pulled, the srands that only pulled out a bit had a big kink in them, never thought too much about it since I was going to silicone but What I think is happening to you is you are pulling hard to get the strands to sperate and you are pulling just a tiny bit out of the thread and it is causing the kink. If it is moving try using a heavier thread or wire and make sure your wraps are nice and tight and see if it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
