Re: Boo String Stretch?
I have two Boo strings
One settled quickly and one seemed to take forever
But it did eventually settle in just fine.

Re: Boo String Stretch?
I have some strings that are 7 yrs old n still creep along slower than a snail but they do move!
Re: Boo String Stretch?
I have had mine strung for two weeks, it settled already, shot 30 shots with it and has not moved.

Re: Boo String Stretch?
The string creep is caused by the wax between strands and the fibers that make up the strands. Various colours come with more wax between the strands than others. When I am making a string I pull the strands through a mix of rosin and bee's wax so different temperatures cause stands to pick up more than others. I try to reduce the wax by putting the string on a stretching rack can keep tightening the string as it loosens over a few days to a week.
Creep is an unfortunate characteristic of a Flemish string and in higher temperatures you get more creep but your string should stop creeping soon assuming this heat wave doesn't get worse.

Re: Boo String Stretch?
I think it's good to bring questions like this up. It applies to all strings and is likely a question that often comes by those who might be too shy to ask.automated11 wrote:Thanks for the response Don, I like the string alot and was just curious.
