easy rigging

I have found an easy way of colouring nylon fishing line for rigging, just run the line over the end of a tube of rub n buff silver or pewter through the thumb and forefinger to spread the colour over the line easily. Try it and smile.

cheers

Wire bracing.

THE GREAT WALDO:
That is a slick idea. I recently solve the problem for wire bracing on 3/4" to foot scale. Photo-etching, and I have streamline wire.

Hello Andy,

Many thanks for this tip.

An other easy way is to put some paint dropplets in a small cap and, holding the line with a Qtip, run it in the paint. Fast, easy and clean.

Best regards from Belgium

Philippe
