I have been boiling strings for years without a problem. I usually boil them once per set. Seems like one time i boiled a set 3 times and shortly after that I broke one of them. Do you guys really have problems with the boiling thing? I just use water also. I put strings in a pot, cover...

Could any of you please point me in the right direction for a polyester source. I did find that Lawrence McFaddens sells it but the online cat. does not list prices. I took as they are a wholesale outfit only. Have not gotten around to calling them though. Surely there is an online source. I...
