Personally I wouldn't, nor would I want to be near you when you do!

One tip for increased line life is to ensure it is kept moist, even wet,
never let it dry out because then it becomes brittle.

I have an old B&D strimmer and have metres of plastic line, but the tap
and
lengthen method never worked well from day one and the blade vanished a
long
time ago. I'm forever turning it upside down and loosening drum and
feeding
the line through manually. I'm wondering if I could use a measured length
of
8 strand wire.
