Stringing

Post by Mikey the 2nd »

We have a job in for 32 frames that we need to get done over the weekend. I am looking for an efficient way of stringing them well but quickly rather tying lots of knots. Not overly worried about a little extra cost. I was thinking wire and crimping would be the quickest and best? Does any one use this method or have any other suggestions?
Many thanks

I always use a double strand of SuperSoftStrand. One end is simply looped thought d-ring, fed back through
and pulled tight. Then loosely twisted and knotted at the other end. That way you only have to tie one knot.

Thanks for that. I think i'll go that way. I can sit at home and loop them all first.

Before someone points out that I'm using twice as much wire as I need to, I use a lighter gauge wire than the job calls
for, i.e. If it needs no.4 wire I use two strands of no.2. :P
