Hello
Fairly new on here and have just made my first (let's have a play) of several Dacron strings (before I attempt a proper one in 8125).
The string made was 12 strand Dacron, with Brownell No 4 nylon serving and apart from trying to get hands and fingers to accomplish an unfamiliar task the only real problem I had was serving the ends over the loops. The loop ends were staggered as seems to be recommended (presumably to give a tapered effect) the problem comes at the point where the serving steps down from 2 served loop thicknesses to one and then down from one onto the string itself, at which point I end up with a gap in the serving (which I must say I haven't noticed on ready made strings)..............Is there anyway to stop this or is it just something I'm doing wrong??
Advice and help would be much appreciated by string makers on here.
