Not to long ago I was feeling a bit warm. A little sweaty and shaky. It was either the flue of an attack of
AMS. why couldn’t it have been the
flue.
I recently got my 1st spools of EZ-Line, 1 ea. of the heavy
and fine, and was playing around with the stuff to see how I was going to like
it. Because of the horrid state of my
bench I got impatient looking for my scissors and snapped a piece off the
spool. Because it stretches so darn far
you have to pinch with 2 hands very close together and give is a sharp
tug. When I did that I noticed how the
end split.
Each of those splits can be pulled the length of the piece
you have to make extremely fine fibers.
I pulled the tiniest f the threads the length of a 1 foot piece as a
test. However this stuff is made, and of
what, I think I may have gotten to an individual "thread".
In this pic “A/B” is a hair and #80 bit for comparison. “C” is the heavy EZ-Line and “D” is the
fine. The fine is said to be 0.15mm,
(0.006"). “E” and “F “ are 2 of the
frayed ends pulled of the heavy line from the top pic. It may take a couple of
snaps but you can get down to G, both the same.
And this is really fine. It
retains the exact same stretching properties as the original piece off the
spool.
The last 2 pics show the finest piece added to a 1/144 scale
Platz N1K2 “Rex”. I had used some dark
invisible sewing thread for the original aerial wire so I put the EZ-Line
underneath for the comparison.
I think "F" would work very nicely on a 1/72 bipe.
