I have been noting that the edges of some of my favorite kites seam to be fraying. Is this normal ware and tear? some kites are only 6 months old what can be done to prevent or slow this proses down.? ;) also I have one kite that seams to have a oder it was flown at the ocean but I gave it a bath and let it dry for a week before putting it in the bag. Is there some particular soap or laundry detergent that should be used ?Id like to keep the my kites all looking good and fresh for the field. :kid_devlish: fall winds to all

I use a hot knife to seal the edges. That way there is no fraying. I have done this to correct the fraying also, but please be careful if you have not used one before. One slip and eek..

I know when my kites get dirty, I take em right into the shower with me lol. plain old water works grand.
