* This picture shows nappy of gut-strings by abrasion
It is one of problems, gut-strings have

The surface layer of sheep-gut is comparatively resistant to wear
If you make use of this special property, a sheep-gut naturally has,
the wear-proof improves as I already told
However, if anyone think that is not satisfied
My recommendation is using glue as a bonding agent of fibers
Both of glue & sausage-casing are collagen of high purity
Glue is possible to be used for the purpose
It doesn't make the sound dull unlike a polymer
Although proffesional makers has been designing various bonding agents
or ways
It must be, no one tell me about this makers secret ...?
I heard, some methods has been used
such as smoking by sulphur, fermentation by an enzyme & etc
If we tried them at our ordinary home,
it will become a kind of domestic collapse
When I considered about my family situation...
It is just like a walking on a tightrope !
Impossible ! then I designed this way

In the case of using glue, remove fat using a neutral detergent to make sure of it

Remove the water

Dissolve 5g-glue of deer or rabbit in 80cc-hot water i60j
Draw, 2`3 times, sheep-guts through two fingers (thumb & index) soaking in the glue-water
Do it before twisting

* This picture shows the string by "easy-method", added this glue process
