    Re: SL Question

    why do you want to use electrical tape and not break cord? Is it just because you don't have any break cord?

    No I just have heard of some people that use tape and was just curious.

    I just stick with 80 pound break cord.
    When you use electrical tape the results may vary more... maybe.
    good luck

    Do a search on here for S/L, static line, break cord, electrical tape, etc and you probably find a bunch of threads with the info you're seeking.

    Re: SL Question

    First off, who is chris kolegas and why are you his bitch? Electrical tape works well when its warm out, but when it gets cold (below 40 F, it breaks much easier. I wouldn't trust it on anything really low or if it was really cold. Grocery bags are the same, works when warms, wouldn't trust when cold.

    Tell that Chris guy to treat you better. Your no one's bitch.
