CoCo Fiber Cordage?

Post by ErikRasmussen » Fri Dec 02, 2016 11:11 pm

I'm assuming someone has seen/used this. Is it safe for crabs? Do they use any other chemicals or oils on it?

Because if it is safe that salt water resistant aspect of it is fantastic. It gives me the idea to make some of this out of yucca leaves. I would bet that yucca root would be a nice snack for crabs.

It says 100 percent coconut husk, so I'm sure it will work just fine. :)

Lowes, by the other rope. Which is partly why I assumed there was other stuff in it. But it looks like it is just reverse wrapped husk which is...so easy, to make.

That stuff must be fairly new. I have never seen it before. I suppose they are trying to find uses for all the waste from making coconut water which has become so popular.

Yeah "renewable resources" are a big selling point these days.
