Can you go into more detail about the resin part? Aso how much fishing line did you use?

i used alot of string, spent a hour or so inter twining it. i actually used pvc pipe glue, coated the string and shook it off so that it left just enough to bond the string to the needle wheel. i am happy so far from it, performance is same as mesh mod, but there isnt that humming noise or shaft imbalance now.

So the glue is to hold the line on the wheel. Do you wind it tight or just snug?

i inter looped it in and out through all the needles with slight pressure to hold it in place and just kept looping it in and through, and yes the glue is to hold it so with the spinning of the wheel the fishing line doesn come off or loose
