Sinew Technique?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Pappy:
I do about the same as Pat.only usually seal over it with Tru Oil after the sinew had dried really  good. I found it sticks much better when chewed than when soaked,I don't worry about chewing it,I process all my own anyway. Guess you could get something bad from it but haven't yet and I've chewed it a lot.  :) :)

Super glue....sinew?  Horrors  :)

I wrap as Pat does then wipe some fish glue or hide glue around it.  Let dry then seal with pitch or tung oil

sailordad:
i chew to get it soft,im in the north and have yet to get CDW  ;D
i also take a dry piece and when i get close to being done wit hthe wrap
i take the dry piece and fold and half and lay that down on teh shaft and finish y wrap over that
on the last wrap ipoke it thru the dry piece,then pull the dry one to take and tuck the tag end under the wrap
never had one come loose doing this
but i have added step to it now,i use clear fingernail polish to seal it once dried
i do this onlyu cause,like mulet,i dont want any failures and the time of truth

JackCrafty:
Chew?  I don't chew it although I have wet the sinew with spit....and it works good, but I prefer to dip the sinew in water.  I apply a thin layer of fish glue to the shaft and lay the sinew down, then start wrapping.  The glue will usually "snag" the end of sinew if it's not too wet and then I dab a little fish glue onto the end of the sinew and finish off the wrap as Pat does (except the licking the fingers part).

Josh:
I like to chew sinew.. I think it has a good taste.  :)  ...can't really call it a strong taste, but it does have a good, subtle taste.
