Members Dominicff Posted November 23, 2016 Members Report Posted November 23, 2016 Im making laces with a rotary lace maker but the laces are curly. My wife wants to make necklace but doesnt like the curly look. Any ways to straighten it ? Thanks ! Quote
Members TonyRV2 Posted November 23, 2016 Members Report Posted November 23, 2016 First thing I would try would be to dampen it, lay it out straight and put some weight on it. Give it a day and see what happens. Quote
Members wlg190861 Posted November 23, 2016 Members Report Posted November 23, 2016 If you want straight lace you have to cut a straight piece like you are cutting a belt blank Quote
Members Thornton Posted November 24, 2016 Members Report Posted November 24, 2016 Getting them wet and pulling them around something round like a dowel held in a vice will remove most of the curl. Quote
MADMAX22 Posted November 24, 2016 Report Posted November 24, 2016 What leather are they? With Roo after they are cut ya have to stretch em then ya can finish the lace however you want. The stretching also finds any weak links. Quote
