I bought a new sheet of 3/8-inch line but it's too slippery to grasp easily with the nitrile work gloves that I like to use. I've found that sheets are like wine - the older the better when it comes to pulling and holding them. Older, weathered sheets are fuzzier and the shine is worn away, making them much easier for me to hold without causing cramps in my hands. As an added bonus, they tend to be more flexible and will coil up more neatly on the cockpit floor.
Does anyone know of a way to speed up the aging process and "break in" a new sheet?
