HELP!!!!!!!!!!

[saxonslax18]

i am looking to buy new black soft mesh from Jimalax. i dont want to buy the kit because i want to have black shooting laces. I was goin to customize my own kit by buying the mesh with the shooting laces and the sidewall string and the top string. i then thought that the strings should be black too. should i dye them or buy the 100 yard sidewall black string? Do i need the topstring, or will the sidwall string do it all....i have a gait icon. What should i do???
Sum it up......... i want black soft mesh with black shooting laces with black sidewall string, and topstring if necesary....thanx for ur help

order the 100 yd sidewall string and use it as topstring

[saxonslax18]

so you are sure that it will fit though the top?

[PCHSlax5]

yea the flace (crosslace) will work as a topstring as well and if you buy the 100 yd spoll its not as much trouble and ull always have it when u need it like if ur sidewall breaks or something.

i agree with bkball but deff. don't dye your strings. it messes em up.

[saxonslax18]

What is the point of a pocket lace? do i need that?

[cwb_lax]

i think pocket lace is crosslace. you don't need that its for traditional stuff.

edit: i just looked at jimalax and the pocket lace that is in the kit is used for the topstring, but you can just use sidewall if you buy the spool.

cool thanx, so all need to have my setup is the black mesh,black shooting laces, and the black sidewall spool?

[cwb_lax]

wait, do you use any nylon shooters?

[saxonslax18]

what's that? where is it located?

[cwb_lax]

do you use all hockey lace shooters or do you have any nylons? they are under "tipped strings" on jima. http://www.jimalax.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=46

[saxonslax18]

hockey lace

[cwb_lax]

ok then you don't need any nylons. you can use the sidewall from your spool for the bottom string and that is all you need. you're good to go. happy stringing

[saxonslax18]

thanks man i appreciate it... o yeah for dying a head how long do i leave it in the water for?

[cwb_lax]

i have no clue. i haven't dyed before.

edit: haha ^ i hope i haven't dyed (died) yet.

[bkball00]

until it gets to the color you want it to be. good luck

[saxonslax18]

ok cool so when its done run in under cold water and let it sit for a day?

[bkball00]

correct you are

[laxn]

This might be pushing it but u could try to substitute black into the kit and see if theyll do it just put it in teh comments box there nice people.

order the 100 yd sidewall string and use it as topstring

yeah this will definatley work and will be alot easier than scattering around your buys. :chuckle:
