Hi Guys, I bought a small 1/4" Karver KB6 block. The kind where you lash it on with a line through the center of the block. It came with tiny 1/16" "seizing line" 24" long. What is this seizing line for? Thanks - Roger

Roger,
Seizing is very similar to whipping, both consist of wrapping small line a number of times around a larger line to prevent fraying (in the case of whipping), or to bind them together (in the case of seizing).

Here's [url="http://www.scribd.com/doc/913941/Seizing-and-Whipping-Notes"]a decent article on it[/url] that I found. It takes a minute to load, but has good pictures & descriptions.

<font color="blue"><font size="4"><font face="Comic Sans MS">This is how I learned to do it.
I used a single line folded in half to make the loop.
