hey i was wondering if anyone knew how rocket pocket gets their pockets to be so hard. also do u know any ways to get custom pockets to stay hard, i tried using parafin wax but it ended up chipping of lin less then an hour and i looked discusting, im not sureit i wuz doing it right tho. i also tried heating up the strings a little but it ended up making them very brittle and easy to brake. so if anyone can help me out with this i would be very greatful, thnx in advance.

but ive made my own rp's and some othere customs with even more nylone and its not nearly as hard. my friends is so hard that its alsmost impossible to push the pocket inside out, without seeming like the pocket will be totally ruined.

some nylone is waxed or something and that stiffens it up, im not sure if thats what they use tho, but buy some hard string and see if that helps. any pocket that iv used hard nylone in made my pocket rilly hard.

yea you got different nylons, usually coloured nylon is a little stiffer in nature as well....

u can get soft and then stiffer, you just gotta shop around...

i looked for the hard nylon, but cant find it, does anyone know where i can find it, the only prob is that i just got a 500yd spool of nylon from jimalax so id prefer not to get anouther nylon spool.
