spreader (end) caps

[choppy]

Greetings

Could only get slightly oversized spreader (aft swept) caps last time unstept & bound them with duck tape to loose most excess but still got the odd snagging - any other ideas as mast unstept again.

Seen some just bound with tape + small wheels

Thanks

I ended up whipping mine on with thin chord (and a few drops of superglue on the chord to be sure to be sure) as no tape in the world seems to last more than two minutes on a boat.

Wrap in self-amalgamating tape (yes you can get that in white).
