    Dynaglide

    I just got some dynaglide and wondered if anyone uses it as prussics on itself and how it holds.

    I use it whenever I use a CRL. New dynaglide is slick and stiff (at least the stuff I got was) and may require an extra wrap or two. After some use when the dynaglide becomes more supple it holds better with less wraps.

    My experience with Dynaglide prussic'ed on itself was that it did not work well.

    I used Sterling 1.5mm accessory cord with great success.

    I ran out of my supply a couple months back and have been using plain old mason's line. It has worked just as well.

    They both required a couple extra wraps (I think I have 5 wraps now). Anything less didn't hold.

    like tender, i've had success with 1.5 mil cordage.

    now that my lines are more supple, i've had equal succes
    with few wraps, and even good results with dyna-on-dyna.

    Maybe I'll just keep my 1.75 zingit prussics on the dynaglide. That'll prob work. I have some Orange simple slings comin from strapworks. I'm digging the Orange stuff.
