      Glad you are finding it useful! And 12 is a great age to start learning the pipes! Feel free to ask questions or even schedule a lesson if you can. Cheers!

    Im curious if slightly warming cobbler wax over a candle or something of sorts would eliminate it crumbling

    It would be great to link the products you review and use in the description, love the video thanks for the knowledge 👍

      The problem with leaving links to external sites in the description (where you can buy stuff) is the CPM (the amount I make in ad revenue for the video) get cut quite a lot, and there ain't that much money to be made on CZcams. You can always Google the products I'm reviewing to find them.

    I used to use the 1 waxed 1 unwaxed yellow hemp method but was finding I had to add or remove a wind of hemp a lot. A year or so ago I redid every joint with real hemp and haven't had to touch them since.

      Good to hear! I'll be curious how my experiment works out. I've had to add real hemp to those joints once. I've added linen three times now, and still haven't had to modify the polyester threaded one...

    What should I do if I have yellow normal hemp and black waxed hemp. How would I put hemp on my pipes?

    Hi Matt,
    What do you recommend on for this on delrin pipes? Thanks.

    • @MattWillisBagpiper

      That’s a great question! It’s hard to imagine why a natural material like hemp or linen would work better than polyester thread on a poly set. I also have a poly set for poor weather, and put polyester thread on on 2 years ago and haven’t adjusted it since...

    • @Ofsaintsandsinners
      @Ofsaintsandsinners Před 5 lety +1

      Hi Matt, thanks for that. Have a set of GHB like yourself for bad weather in delrin and a set of border pipes in delrin also. Always have trouble with waxed hemped joints eventually failing like yours. Will try your suggestion. Regards. WM.

    Was there a follow video to this? I was wondering the difference between the hemp and polyester thread. Ill also look for the video if there is one.
