Restoring silk line

Don't know why you'd want to dress it with anything other than
red Mucilin
I just like to make stuff myself, but I see the Mucilin is inexpensive and
readily available. I'll check the local fly shop later today.
TSP sounds too harsh.
I mixed a very weak solution in a gallon of warm water. I'll go see now if
it's enough to remove the old finish.
This is probably a realatively cheap line - it was on a Precisionbilt reel,
it's a level line, so I don't want to waste too much time on it, but it
seems like a good chance to see what casting silk is about.
