how do you take the gay coating off? it's taking me forever and not really working

Drill a whole in a 2x4 that the coated rope will fit through. Then stick a razor blade in the 2x4 where just a little of it sticks down over the hole (the thickness of the coating) Then just pull the rope through the whole and it will cut through the entire length of the coating and you can just peel it off.

Donk,

good idea

or just use it till thousands of tiny little pieces are easier to take off

why are you taking the coating off?

cuz my fairlead got bent down so now when i let rope out or when im pulling it in the rope scrapes along it and slices it anyway so like half of it is either gone or hanging off

DMoneyy, you might want to do soemthing to the fairlead or it will be the rope getting f'd not the coating Shocked

i recommend losing the coating anyway.... with the coating on you get a much sketchier pull... whenever i get bullet line the first thing i do is strip the coating off...

donk i use a very similar method...

Wouldnt it be better to just buy a rope with no coating on it? because i need to buy one soon..

POPTART, AND JUST WHERE might i do that?

Cyclone268, yes you can buy rope elsewhere without the coating... and it would be cheaper... the reason i got bullet line was cause he gave it to me for free for moderating his forum
