I have never mastered the string dispensing part of weed wackers. If I
double wrap "SplitLine" the string, the string tends to slip in the holes
on
one side and eventually bind the spool of string. My best results seem to
be with single wound "Single Line" stringing it. Even there, though the
string still has a tendency to slip in the eyelets of the outer spool and
render itself useless unless I take the inner spool off and reinsert the
string in the eyelet. Any ways to keep the string from slipping back
through the eyelet(s)? I know the proper way of wrapping for double
wrapping - keeping the two threads separate with your thumb. Doesn't seem
to matter. One thread always seems to slip back into the eyelet. My weed
wacker is a Bolens BL 100. Anyone have any ideas?


Yeah, you can do like I did. I couldn't "master" the weedeater either. i put
on one of those plastic blades on mine. Don't remember the name of it
though, but it works real good. I also had a small underpowered weedeater
that wouldn't turn the balde, but would turn a universal string attachment
from Wal-mart. It is just a hub with clips for string. You put the string in
the locks and when it's gone, you just put in another piece.
