WILL ADD SOME RIGGEN BLOKS AND RIGGEN DETAILS. tO ME IT IS NOT TOTALLY CLEAR YOUR PROBLEM, BUT HAVE LOOK--SI'm not sure of how to make seizing for the shrouds on the blocks. I've tied knots then wrapped the seizing thread around and around but it collapse around the shroud. Any suggestions? View attachment 217287
My problem is I don't know when the seizing should take place. Do I do it before the block is attached to the rail? Do I estimate the length of the shroud with the block before I attach it and create the seizing?
You have discovered a universal problem. Seizing is very difficult if you are trying to do it 'in the air' by hand. You need to build a 'seizing machine'. An article appeared in NRJ a couple of years back that should give you some ideas. The low voltage electrical parts can be had from allelectronics.com. They are located in Van Nuys, CA. With a machine you can wrap about six inches of shroud per minute. Almost all 'tools' used to solve problems like this are homemade.I'm not sure of how to make seizing for the shrouds on the blocks.

Home made is one possibility, and if you have no possibility to make your own tool, we have some suppliers of good and not so good serving machines.
