Whip Basics. The Forum

Thanks Roger! I feel like the extreme length of it really helps with the flow.
You definitely should! Personally I just can't get over the feel of waxed whips, they feel so much more solid than unwaxed (though that's probably because I am 100% certain that water won't change anything in my whip)

Brandon, when the dew is heavy in the mornings, I can practice with both a waxed and an un-waxed whip and throw by throw the un-waxed one gets heavier and less accurate as well as unruly in it's behavior due to it's soaking up moisture from the grass.
I agree, a waxed whip seems more connected and, "alive" to me.

Wow, that looks like a great whip, really impressive! It moves wonderfully well, a pleasure to watch

Thank you Charlie!

Ron, definitely agree with you there. While a good paracord whip is waterproof, imo it isn't waterproof until you make sure water can't get in :P

Absolutely right Brandon.
Other wise it's just water resistant.
Wax at 250f until all the bubbles stop rising works for me. On average that's about 45 min. of soaking.

I've been doing mine for 20 minutes or so, might do it for a bit longer in the future.
I think mine bubbled so much just due to the fact that it's a thick whip, and has a lot to fill up.

Interesting, I think I'll have to give mine another dunk then, they were only in for 5 or so. The pot wasn't large enough to get it all in so I had to ladle it on in places.
