In Response To: Maroske fittings: Double lines (Dan Caouette (CSCWC))

I wouldn't say that two lines in a hole would look out of place. For the Sea Racer last summer I used 1/2" OD hot glue sticks. I could fit double 1/4" bungees through the holes. I could probably have squeezed a third if needed. The difference in size was hardly noticeable and it gives a lot more options.

Dan, beautiful work. Do you think the hole size would be more noticeable on a lighter colored deck? I saw an early post where you said you used mini glue sticks for single lines and the larger ones for double lines. Are the mini sticks about .28"? Or 8mm? ;-)

Also are the perimeter lines on the Sea Racer bungee or a matching black cord?

I am also wondering what color lines I should use. The dark wood is Peruvian walnut and the light is WRC.
