Mountainer Pullover Burned Wool covered bass strings with silk core under polyester casting

I am receiving made in usa, mountainer socks and pullover ads. They are immensely expensive and bad designed. Who wears white sock on the mountain with red and blue stripes , may be 40 years ago but not now.

Well , they advertise very strong wool on the pullover. Fire treated , not burned but surface and long fibers been destroyed and surface is like an glass.

I thought that wool would be the best friend for fretless player. If your hands wet , you dont feel it.

But lets not cover steel core with this , lets go to silk road and lets place silk core in to mold and fill it with polyester resin with hardener.

Slow process but a single lathe drill can open 4 string mold in to teflon plastic plate and this can be filled with polyester and silk.

Why polyester , nylgut lute strings are polyester.

Than we cover the mold released string with wool thread and than fire threated.

When after installing the string on the bass , we turn steel wire on the pickup side and glue with acrylic on to wool and polyester.
