softening Anchor Line?
« on: January 02, 2014, 11:59:47 AM »
I have a section of really stiff anchor line. Any suggestions on how to make it softer/easier to work with?

I've heard soaking in a mixture of woolite softens cast nets so it should work on the line too.

Soak overnight in a solution of fresh water and liquid fabric softener.  Then rinse with fresh water and dry.
