Funnel Rigging

This is just a look at my process for rigging the lines from the funnels.  Attaching the funnel lines to the deck will be a whole different story.

I have painted the funnels and all of the holes for the lines have been drilled out with a fine bit. (maybe #78 or so)  I ran a short length of the EZ Line through the hole from the outside and pulled it through.  Since the line is so fine, even a knot tied in the line might get pulled through the hole so I tied it around a piece of styrene. I add a drop of CA glue and trim off excess line and styrene and pull it tight inside the funnel and secure it with another drop of glue.

This process takes some time as I can only do one line on a funnel until the glue dries.  If I can do two short sessions per day, I can do maybe 6 or 9 lines. Exciting stuff I know, but if a line pulls out of a funnel it will be bad.
