Bottlehead Kits > Bottlehead Power Cord Kit
3 twists per inch
Love Rhino:
Having fun putting this together! When twisting the wire to the 3 twists per inch, I feel like I’m getting too much unraveling when I remove them from the vise, taking it down closer to 2 twists per inch. How important is the twist? Is it crucial for all the wires to be equal in their twists per square inch?
Am I just a mega noob completely overthinking this, or is this super important?
Paul Birkeland:
It's not all that critical. They do unwind a little bit as you're building the cord, before you finish the braiding.
Love Rhino:
Am I crazy with how good this sounds?
It looks like I’ll be eating my words for every time I told someone that cables of any type don’t matter. Thanks Bottlehead!
Doc B.:
If the wire unwinds a little compensate by overwinding a bit, like 3.5 turns per inch. That way when it eases off it should be closer to 3 turns per inch.
Love Rhino:
Would the power cord be just as effective with the mainline as it would be with the crack?
