Good day,

understood this is a quiet big problem, but unfortunatelly have no advises... rerigg all running rigging..?

but , I don't think it is good idea for the model from  plastic kit... in case of" real "   wooden model - may be it is not" creasy" idea, but find good threads without " furr", make your own  ropes all ness-ry sizes, ...and make correct running rigging...

I know there is German Guttermann sweing threads , serie " tera" ...they are of different sizes in diameter...and  very nice for rigging purpose...:)))

I have painted standing rigging with a thin off-black paint.  I  did this, however, while doing the rigging, immediately after doing a section- say shrouds and ratlines of each mast.

I know folks who wax thread before rigging to prevent this, but too late now, of course.  I wonder if taking a cue-tip and running a thin clearcoat along the lines would work, too. I would do a test off the model first, however.  Tie a piece of the thread you used between two points on bench, and try it.

Despite my best efforts, part of my ship's running rigging fuzzed up along its length and now looks totally unacceptable. Is there a way to eliminate that fuzz with a minimum of collateral damage?  TIA
