  • Is there any need to rinse in plain water ?

  • my rope is black....

  • I would not recommend putting your rope in the driveway. You never know what kind of harmfull chemicals your vehicle could be dropping off there. Those chemicals could reduce the strength of your rope. I just flaked my rope out on a tarp and let air from a vent blow on it.

  • @waterbuffalo727 yeah you can. It will take longer to dry though.

  • no tht will ruin the rope

  • can't you just quad-daisy it and throw it in the wash with no detergent>?

  • should be able to, just dry in shade.

  • thanks for these videos. they're really interesting.

  • can you do this even if your rope is not dry coated?
