Alternative strap fastening
I tried to come up with a different solution for my fluke, one that didn't involve any kind of adhesives.
This is what it looks like:
The idea:
That a tigthening loop with a noose was supposed to move further up the body in stead of slipping off due to the shape, and that the strap across the bottom should prevent it form moving to up to the strings.
The reality:
That it rather easily slips off anyway. it will hold the fluke if you are careful, but it is not practical when you need to pay attention to it.
Next project:
I'm thinking about making a loose fitting loop of webbing without a noose in it, and then sewing in an ekstra inner-upper-half-loop of elastic band from old suspenders. Point being that the weight of the fluke will rest on the non-elastic webbing, and the elastic might keep it in place.
Anybody who tried that?
