This is interesting... Has anyone tried Armour All on Berry Blue Lines? I have a lineset that is a little gritty, and I've washed it once which helped for a while. But I don't want to destroy it -- anyone tried the Armour All trick before with this brand?

Later, Doug

I just cut down a very old line set to 2 small ones. I noticed how stiff and gritty they were and remembered this forum. Got out the Armor-All from the car and wiped down the lines. They feet new now. I havn't flown them yet but they feel slick and soft. I got these lines in 2002 and fly on the beach 100% of the time. I will fly them tomorrow. It will also be my first time with a 40' set.

What's the report, MrDenny? Did the Armor-All work OK? BTW, what type of lines were they? I'd still like to try the trick on some Berry Blues. If no one's ever tried it, I might try it anyway.

I like and use the Berry Blue lines too, l believe it is still spectra line, but it is wound finer, which is why it feels so smooth. Let me know how you make out with that. Thanks

Opps I forgot to get back. The lines flew much better. I have a Armor-All in the car that is packaged like baby wipes. I think I will take that with me when flying and just give a quick rub down as I bring in the lines when ever I think of it. It should extend the life of the lines or at least make them feel newer until the crap out totaly.

Thats new I quoted myself.

Just wanted to update the results of the Armor-All. A month and a half later 20 to 30 outings. The lines have picked up lots of sand. Once you do this to a set I think you are stuck doing it often. I don't think I will do it to another set . I am enjoying having the 40' and 30'sets.
