MATERIALS

2mm, 3mm or 4mm line: I usually use 2mm diameter line or even smaller on most handles, with perhaps 3mm or 4mm material for mast support posts. Irrespective of which method you decide to use, the amount of material required must be determined for each job by taking a metre and making a series of half hitches round the item to be covered. When the metre has all been used up, measure and see how long the piece of hitching is, divide that length into the overall length to be covered and add, say, 10% for luck. You now know how many metres you require. I usually use thicker material for the Turk’s heads at each end.

Varnish or paint if required
