FAQs

What does '#15 twist' mean?

The '#15 twist' refers to the specific construction and tightness of the strands twisted together to form the line. This designation indicates a particular balance of strength and flexibility inherent to this type of nylon cord.

Is this line suitable for climbing or heavy lifting?

No, this line is designed for general utility purposes and is tested up to 120 lbs. It is not rated or intended for life-support applications like climbing or critical heavy lifting.

Can I use this line for outdoor projects year-round?

Yes, its resistance to rot and mildew makes it suitable for outdoor use. However, prolonged, intense UV exposure can degrade nylon over time, so storage away from direct sun is recommended when not in use.

How should I store the remaining line?

Store the line loosely wound in its original packaging or on a spool in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve its integrity.

What is the tensile strength of this line?

The line has been tested at a tensile strength of 120 lbs.

Can this line be dyed?

Nylon can be dyed, but results may vary depending on the dye type and application. It's generally recommended to use the line as-is, especially since it's already a visible color.

Troubleshooting

Knots are slipping

Ensure knots are tied correctly and fully tightened. The line is designed to hold knots, but improper tying technique can still lead to slippage. Consider using a different knot appropriate for nylon cord.

Line appears weaker than expected

Verify the load does not exceed the 120 lb tested strength. Inspect the line for any physical damage, cuts, or excessive wear, especially at points of abrasion or friction.

Mildew or rot developing

Although resistant, prolonged submersion in contaminated water or extreme neglect can eventually affect the material. Ensure the line is dried completely after use and stored in a clean, dry environment. If damage has occurred, replace the affected section or the entire line.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent knot-holding capability
  • Resistant to rot and mildew
  • High tensile strength (120 lb tested)
  • Durable construction for long-term use
  • Bright color for visibility

Cons

  • #15 twist may not be suitable for all applications requiring extreme flexibility
  • Nylon material can be susceptible to UV degradation over very long-term direct sun exposure
  • Specific length (500') might be too short for very large projects

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This line requires no special setup. Simply unspool the desired length. Ensure knots are tied securely, as the line is designed to hold them well.

Compatibility: Compatible with most standard knots used for nylon cordage. It can be used with various fasteners, hooks, or anchors suitable for its tensile strength.

Care: To maintain its longevity:

  1. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  2. If the line becomes dirty, clean it with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before storing.
  3. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals.
  4. Inspect regularly for signs of wear, especially if used in demanding applications.
