Got a long, 2" wide nylon tow strap someone formed an eye in one end of by doubling the strap and knotting. A subsequent pull has left a mamoo tough knot.....one with a set to it.
I sat down and tried to pick the knot with an ice pick, trying to get any kind of slack, anywhere in it. After all my finagling, I couldn't get anywhere at all without piercing or tearing the strap material.
Can anyone offer me any further tips or tricks so I can salvage the strap intact?
If not, what I guess I'll do is simply cut out the knot part and take the remaining two pieces to a shoe shop and get 'em lapped and sewn across in a number of places. That way I'll have a 25% shorter tow strap, but still good to go.
