I really appreciate the tips. I will make some changes before my next batch.

One weak spot in my system was the short racks I was using. I was only curing around 40 or so at a time and it was bugging me. I found component systems who makes the TJ Tackle racks and had them cut me some at 15”, which fits perfectly in my toaster oven. This will allow me to make larger batches less frequently. Cost effective? Absolutely not, but they will be handy.

I tied several this weekend and my neck was absolutely killing me. It’s comparable to “Livescope neck”. The cure for that was a taller mount for my graphs and the cure for this is Regal’s $20 longer stem available at Mad River Outfitters. While I was at it, I bought a few more supplies.
