i have two separate 2-line sets that are spaghetti. i have tried to untangle them, but dont have the patience or dexterity... if anyone is willing to take on the task, i will gladly pay you. i dont want to trash 'em as they are in good condition...

that is one of the funniest posts I have seen in awhile

just set them by the couch and you will eventually get it undone as your watching tv ... or if you are like ripsession set them next to the toilet :moon:

Cheesy we missed you up at Kite storm. I agree with Dakitez Sit down put in the origanal karatee kid and MR Miagie will help you.

Look for loops and untangle them first. It is faster than working from the ends. Been there....plenty of times.

Just work on one line at a time!......aj

I usally just stake out 3 points and work the 4th one back through the rats nest. If I am working indoors, I take up the individual lines on seperate Innova mini-winders.

Very careful use of pick tools (so as not to damage the weave/braid of the lines)



from your local Lowes/Home Depot or

burnishing tools



from the local crafts store might make it less painful.

Some of the worst lineset tangles have beenn:

• A sea soaked set from the UK that were shipped wet.
  
• About 20 feet of 50# indoor micro-Spectra line.... made more interesting by my sister's cats.

If you really get fed up with them or fear the need for constabulary intervention, feel free to ship them over.

ATB,
Sam

Sorry Cheezy but I just had to post this quote.

"If tangled lines are an irritating frustration, you won't understand, but if you find untangling relaxing and theraputic, you might find Aoxomoxoa"

I suggest what Dino said or bring them to NABX and I will do them for you...lol

Cheers

as a result i haven't flown either kite in a year...:flaming:

Hey Marc, bring them to WBB and we'll make short work of it in the ECKS Headquarters! It'll be a hoot watching you get all strung up of some tangles

Better yet Marc, bring them to WW and I have a slightly used line set, for you, and then we can light them bad boys on FIRE!:flaming:

Marc- Bring them this weekend and i will help you untangle when we take a break
scott

i like rich's idea,got a big laugh out of that

Send 'em here Cheezy It's about time I paid you back. If you cover shipping I'll untangle them for free.

ok, i was going to say send it here cheese, but some one already got it.

Nothing better then 5 guys sitting around the lineset toasting marshmellows. :moon:

I'll be happy to give it a go when everyone else gives up.:duh:

BTW I really do find untangling relaxing and therapeutic.

I must say thank you to everyone for the overwhelming support. In addition to those that have posted, I a have received several u2u's as well. Overwhelmed, but not suprised... This is the PKF !!!
So I guess I will send one set out west for some therapy and the other will probably be an offering to the wind gods at WW This spring....
