So putting them on a radiator is a no no then. Interested in this artificeall heat thing. Don't like the idea of trashing my nets. Also if you dry them out this way they go crusty and don't run out as well. I use mine so often during the season that they tend to do most of there drying out in the field. They are dipped in wood preserver so dry so much quicker than hemp alone. REMEMBER LADS , BLOOD ON HEMP / LINEN ....... ROTS IT FAST !! ........... THEY NEED A WASH FROM TIME TO TIME ALL THE BEST DUCKWING

Hi Mike, don't you have bother with them creeping back. It was a local walking stick guy who showed me how to use the heat. As I said, if they are bone dry, you can make them like rubber and once they're cool they stay where they are. I used to use your method, but I assure you the stick makers method is worth a look. You can cut 20 or 30 pegs, shove them in the loft, then once dry, spend a couple of hours straightening them. HI IAN , IAM WITH YOU ON THIS ONE .................. PERSONALLY I USE SOME TIN FOIL AND WRAP IT AROUND THE WAND ..... AS THIS STOPS THE BARK SCORCHING ..

BROOKIE , I WAS SHOWN A VERY SIMILAR METHOD AS A KID .......... WE USED A HESSIAN SACK , AND WOULD STITCH ROUND THE MOUTH OF THE SACK A PIECE OF PLASTIC PIPE SHAPED IN A RING ....... THIS WAS THEN DRILLED IN 3 PLACES EVENLY ..... THEN CORD WAS THREADED THROUGH AND TIED OFF ON TO ONE CORD AT ABOUT 18 INCHES ........ THE SACK WAS BAITED WITH A RABBIT SPLIT [ OLDER THE BETTER ] THEN STRAW PACKED ON TOP .......... WE WADE OUT INTO THE RIVER PROP OPEN THE MOUTH OF THE SACK AND TIE OFF THE CORD TO THE BANK ..... WHEN PULLED IN THE MOUTH OF THE SACK CLOSES CATCHING THE EELS UNDER THE STRAW .
