Well done Teepee
How many times did you have to stop and untangle it all?
It wasn't bad at all apart from the biggest hank which had me swearing after my 'Good Idea' of putting the hank on a horizontal pole and pulling of loops. I do now have proper amsteel green black and red hands though. It took about 5 hours to cut with 30 mins of swearing and a mouthfull given to the 'We have had reports from microsoft that your PC is having problems' bloke who made me lose count on a 300ft length.
Great news that it is in the post & a huge well done for sorting this out. After getting into hammockforums.net recently I cant wait to get making whoopie slings. softshackles, nacrobiners (dont ask..) etc.. Will post up when it is in my hands.
Thanks Pete
I still have 2 packets here for Petey and Born Slippy .. I have PM'ed you twice to confirm your postal address, as you paid by gift and the address isnt visible. I can only assume you are away and if I don't hear back by Fri, I can't get them to you for the weekend.
Everybody elses has been posted 1st class recorded and if you haven't got them today, they will arrive tomorrow.
Guys, the black is more dark grey and the urethane coating feels a little stickier than the other colours but is still absolutely fine. There are a few bits of residue from the factory too which won't cause trouble. Some of the line has an authenticating colored tracer inside, some hasn't. All the colours will leave a little residue on your hands, this is normal with coated dyneema.
A word of warning too; I cut the line with a brand new mora rope knife which was just shaving sharp. 5 cuts later, it had blunted the tip and by the end I had to regrind the tip of the blade on diamond stones because it was butter knife sharp and I'm not exaggerating. Don't use your expensive knife or scissors!

Set's alarm on PC : must leave work early enough to get to PO if there is a card through the door
More seriously where is the best [most idiot proof] tutorial on making up the whoopies?
