        <title>Silk, tight coil remedy?</title>
        <link>http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/topic/25204/t/Silk-tight-coil-remedy-.html</link>
        <description>
        <![CDATA[ I&#39;ve recently restored a 40yr old fly line from an old reel. (see Classic Reels, history of Duncan Briggs).

The silk line has come back, clean as a a whistle, but after reversing the DT probably for the first time ever, the hard coated silk remains in tight coils.

I&#39;ve soaked it in warm water and looped it in larger coils on a line winder, but once it gets back on the reel... boing, back to small tight loops.

Anyone dealt with this before?

			<description><![CDATA[ Aaron that is a great idea. Make sure you advertise the lines as pre-nylon like pre-embargo cane. That way you can easily get 90.00 per line.

			<description><![CDATA[ Good idea Dave.  Maybe I&#39;ll sell one for 60 bucks and buy 2 from H&amp;H.  There seems to be quite a bit of interest in these silk lines.

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Warrick,
<br>
The problem you mention reminds me more of oil impregnated Nylon lines tha silk ones. They look alike... but are not. Take a lighter and burn the very end : if
it&#39;s silk, only ash will remain; if it&#39;s Nylon, it will melt and leave a &quot;bead&quot; of plastic after you&#39;ve blown out the flame. The coils
I&#39;ve had in stiff silk lines work off very easily with Mucilin and casting, and do not come back once the line is broken in.
<br>
You will see that silk is so... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;d recommend attaching it between two trees slightly stretched and grease it with mucilin and leave it a day or two.  Then coil it in big loose 3 foot
coils and stash it in the closet for a couple of days and see if it still remembers those small coils.
<br>
<br>
I don&#39;t store mine on my reel.  I store it on the struble line-winder and have never had a problem.  Then again, mine&#39;s not 40 years old either...but
it is about 8. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I am sure that this question has been answered before. How do you tell if the line is silk or nylon?  I have several lines that were on some old reels that I
bought over the years.  How do you tell what the line designation is?  Is there an easy way to tell if it is WF or DT or level?

			<description><![CDATA[ I take mine and stretch it gently just a steady pull between hands 3ft at a time.....then the dowel ( I sanded mine just to be safe)  I have re done several
lines  .....  and honestly think the best thing is use casting seems to work out any memory better than anything else.....or I enjoy the casting so much more
that I make it work better.   I&#39;ve only used the plastic lines a few times this year.  The silks used to live in boxes and go onto the reels occasionally
now its the other way... ]]></description>

<br>
what i have done befor for this same thing is lay it all in a card board box , the end you need is the tight coiled end , i like a stair case railing the best
or a wooded dowel from any hardware store like home depot , just keep working that line back and forth over it and it will get better , what your trying to do
is the same as taking a long taper leader that is not straight and running it through a rubber leader straightner to bring it back as new , correct and
straight ,... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Sounds like it need &#39;breaking in&#39; again, especially if it&#39;s just been restored. Give it a really good dressing of mucilin, loop one end twice
around a round towel rail or smooth dowel about 1 1/2&quot; in diameter, and &#39;saw&#39; it back and forwards, moving down the line after a few strokes to
the next bit. Once it&#39;s all been done, dress it again in mucilin, leave it overnight, then do it again - and again - and again - then go out and cast it as
much as you can. The... ]]></description>
