We make a fishing line from a bottle for a trimmer with our own hands
- Bottle cutter.
- Screwdriver.
- Building hair dryer.
- Pliers.
- Empty plastic bottle.
Step 1
First of all, prepare all the tools that you will need to make a rope from a plastic bottle.
Step 2
Now you need to fix the bottle cut into two parts on the machine in order to cut the tape from it.
The thickness of the manufactured fishing line depends on the thickness of the cut tape. The wider the tape, the thicker the rope will be.
Step 4
One of the edges of the cut tape must be fixed in a vise.
Step 5
Clamp the other end in the screwdriver chuck.
Step 6
Stretch the ribbon and start twisting it into a rope. Be sure to keep the tape taut at all times, otherwise it will unwind.
Step 7
Now, with a hair dryer, start heating the twisted tape along its entire length.
Your rope is ready!
If there is no screwdriver at hand, then you can use a regular stick.
And instead of a hair dryer, a regular lighter is quite suitable.
This line is perfect for lawn mowers and mulchers.
