One final question: If I clean and dress the line 1st, then find that it really does need to be refinished, will the mucilin make the finish-stripping job any more difficult?

I am still wondering if it is ever advisable to add a new coat of varnish/oil to a cleaned, old one, without first stripping the line. Say, if the old varnish seems to have worn too thin?

Thanks,

Moisture left in the line is what causes mold and rot. Loosely coil the damp line and leave it in a dry place for a day of two, then store still loosely coiled. Reapply Mucilin dressing when line is completely dry and before fishing. If you decide that you need to strip and recoat, it's no big deal, just takes a little time and patience.
