You can give the cord a twist in the opposite direction each time you're pulling through a hitch, and this will help some. Every few hitches you'll still have to straighten out the cord before continuing.<br /><br />It's just part of the tying process with hitching, and requires a bit of patience. With each hitch, your working length of cord gets shorter, so the pace will pick up as you go.Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-77875883539982516472011-02-23T11:39:33.906-05:002011-02-23T11:39:33.906-05:00Excellent idea the cork fender!
