I don't do anything special. Twenty years ago, I tried using Armor All on some lines and it didn't seem to do much. I fly on grass and I have linseeds that are almost 20 years old. I do check them for stretch and adjust accordingly. Quadlines I tend to check when the wind is light and I am not doing anything. Dual lines I tend to just do when I notice that they are off. Years ago I took a 1x2 about 8 inches long, put two brass hooks in it on the 1" side and then tied a small cord to the center. I use this to check if the lines are even, it is pretty easy to do. I like this better than just using my fingers, but you can do it that way, too. Really, you only need to check new lines, or after you fly them in stronger than normal winds. -
I'll remember this when the decent weather arrives and I can get to a beach👍 -
When winding your lines after flying in a sandy environment, it's a good idea to take a very thin slightly damp cloth and run the lines through that as you wind. it will get rid of dirt particles that could rub and cause damage. Using a thin cloth to do this you will feel anything that may be trapped in the weave of your lines. -
So I was wondering what if anything the good folks of the forum do to care for your flying lines? I have a couple of sets of pro gold lines and other than; Check for stretch and adjust. Keep them on a winder in a bag so they aren’t damaged in transit etc Visual check as I unwind / wind in I don’t do anything else…. I wondered what others do. Do people clean their lines? Lubricate them in some way? or any other care routines…interested to hear your thoughts on this.
