marlinspike Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Hello all, I love the projects I have seen here - lots of talent! Can anyone point me towards a good source of tarred marline and seine twine - besides American Rope and Tar, they are a little expensive.

silas thatcher Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 IIRC, some had posted a few links to suppliers... usually i think people have applied the tar afterwards since working with pre-tarred line is a little sticky...MadL had posted something to that affect and did some great work... BTW... greetings and welcome !! intro yourself in "the crow's nest" :)

marlinspike Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 Thanks guys. sailrite is about on par with Am. Rope&Tar so I guess there is no way around it. Silas, the only thing I don't like about tarring after the fact is that I am needle hitching some glass bottles and the untarred marline won't grab or tighten around the glass. Thanks again from a fellow Thatcher. "Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth [...] pausing before coffin warehouses [...] I feel the need to go to sea.
