Thanks. I have watched this video alot of times. I can't make the cotton fluffy like that.. Any ideas on how to prep cotton before putting it through the coil.
What size coil are you using? I always use the Scottish roll wicking method regardless of what cotton it is ..I don’t have the prime so can’t show you on this deck itself
For muji (the photo below are koh gen do but it’s similar)
You’ll want about a third of the pad for a 2mm coil and just under half for 3mm
Once cut, tear the top and bottom sheet off
Now spread the pad out sideway and longways so it becomes see through (try to keep fibres in tact, see how they run longways here) here you don’t want any holes appearing. Something similar to this (this was for 3mm)
Now roll it up
Twist the end and feed it through the coil. It should be snug but not overly tight that it starts moving the coil out of position
Move back and forth let it settle into the coil
Snip away as per the vid above
To fluff up the ends can just strum them with tweezers or your finger.
Also thin them out a bit using tweezer (rake the cotton from the coil outwards gently)
Now cut away excess fluff as per vid and follow the rest of it
Note: you can do exactly the same for CB just tear a strip from the pad and follow the above, takes a little bit longer to get used to it this way and keep it square but still works
What I find helps is take pictures as you go of each step until you nail it for that atty ....you can then look back and modify what you did along the way and keep the pics that worked best
