Blocked hole stand-off

When you are stringing the mains, and realize that you are going to block a hole, instead of looping a string around the string that blocks, try this: Take a piece of string and make a loop. Place this loop of string between the frame and the string that will be blocking the hole. This will give you the perfect size opening to slip the cross string through. Then, instead of just pulling the string out, clip the “U” in half so that you won’t have as much string to pull through. This helps prevent burning a notch in the blocking string.
