Any good suggestions out there for winding string trimmer line to keep it feedin freely til the end?I have a ryobi, and it generally is pretty good, but I have recently had problems- especially when my wife or hired hands use it. One or both of the lines will vanish. I read that one technique is to wind it so that one line is at the top of the reel and the other at the bottom- keeping the lines from crossing. ("crossing the beams would be bad..." - Ghostbusters... A thought I had was to shoot some sort of lube in the reel- perhaps tri-flo, or pam cooking spray, or perhaps good old wd40. I read somewhere that a fellow wound it with just one string rather than two- much more reliable. I may try this. Just wondering what you guys do. Yes, I know about the new quick replace string heads, and the fixed strings, but I want techniques for the old classic string trimmer. Thanks- Lynn Kasdorf
