: 2/i prefer this one. take 3 inches of 1/8 to 3/16 line(choose w/ care to
: either contrast or not) and glue(epoxy whatever)2 inches of it on the
: downside edge (maybe cove it a bit to fit) right beyond the shoulder of
: the blade. the 1in free end should point back at you past the shoulder
: towards the ctr of the paddle. (i bet the whole thing could be shorter)
: water runs down the blade edge right along the little stub and off the
: paddle.

: I gues a little hot glue would tell for sure.

last nite, i decided to try this out. just hot glued the above(2in of 3in of 1/8in parachute cord - 1in hanging free) in place on the edge just at the start of the major curvatur to the loom on my feathered ww type glass blades.

doesnt work at all when using feathered paddling, twisting the blades back and forth. thats because when the blade is raised, the lower edge is not down anymore but horizontal because of the twisting. so water doesnt flow

works fairly (maybe even really) well ( 90percent of the water - probably more) when the blades are unfeathered like in a greenland paddle.

so if you want a light, hardly visible, boneass simple drip - test it out w/ some hot glue. takes abt 5 minutes. i'd like to know if it works on greenlands. that's if it's an issue.

i'll be playing around w/ smaller shorter lines.
