How to straighten a ripcord - DBZForever - Jan. 28, 2009
a straight ripcord makes ur rips smoother and more powerful.
if u already know how to do this or have ur own way please tell me but be respectful plz
boil a LARGE amount of water (preferably on the stove) once its boiling emerge the teeth of ur ripcord completely in the water for about 60-90 seconds then straighten by hand and tape straight let sit for 30 minutes remove tape and WALLA repeat if not straight enough
trust me if done correctly this is the best way I know that works LONG TERM
RE: How to straighten a ripcord - Krys - Jan. 28, 2009
That sounds pretty interesting, but isn't it kinda hard to get the tape on?
RE: How to straighten a ripcord - moviegoer15 - Jan. 28, 2009
That could have been presented much better. Try adding pictures, and learn to use caps lock or shift.
Did you already check to see if there was a topic on the subject already?
RE: How to straighten a ripcord - G - Jan. 28, 2009
I think Brad is going to do a video on this for the beybladechannel. You don't need boiling water for this...
RE: How to straighten a ripcord - Krys - Jan. 28, 2009
moviegoer, if you don't have a link to a thread similar to this you shouldn't ask about rather there's another thread like this.
Though I agree it could have been said better, as long as you can understand it, I think it's fine.
RE: How to straighten a ripcord - DBZForever - Jan. 28, 2009
I didnt see one if there already is one sry
"G" how do u do it?
RE: How to straighten a ripcord - Krys - Jan. 28, 2009
Don't worry DBZ, I just searched it and I didn't see another thread similar to this one.
@G: I hope he does make one, I'd like to see how to straighten a ripcord.

Yeah, but still, you made it sound like you had searched it up and found a similar thread.
I'm also curious in what way you straighten the ripcord, G.

1 cord 2 tubs.
one is warm while the other is cold. you move around the cord in the warm water and pull it straight and hold it. move it to the cold water so it stays firms.
pretty much repeat. it might not be the proper way, but it works for me.

DON'T USE BOILING WATER YOU COULD BURN YOURSELF
Also, we have covered this before:

I've always used water from a kettle, haven't burnt myself yet. This is why you hold the handle of the rip cord...

yeah this is a way better idea than using hot water and just leaving it for a few minutes
also what if you want to do a bunch of them at once
RE: How to straighten a ripcord - BeyUK-Espio - Jan. 28, 2009
It is possible to do that as well. I have no problem holding 5 to 7 ripcords...
In terms of safety this is a better way. But hot water warms the plastic alot faster.

There is going to be a negligible difference in time between hot water and boiling water, and I'm sure that time will go a lot faster if you're not holding winders in the sink.

Everybody to their own =D.

Can we just do this with hot water instead of boiling water?

yes but the hotter the better......it loosens the plastic

The way I do it is run the hot water in my sink and fill it up. I throw my winders in for a minute or two and pull them out with a fork or some sort of utensil. I have a cup of water with ice in it sitting next to the sink. I straighten the winders by hand and hold them in place till the plastic starts to harden and dip them in ice water to solidify it. Takes usually 1-2 times per winder to get them straight, and you have to do it every so often because they will go back to being bent from play.

It doesn't take 30 minutes for the plastic to get hot. 5 minutes at the MOST. If you waited that long the water would get cold.
BUMP:
Sorry for the bump but I figured people need a list. This will make it as CLEAR as possible. I will probably do a video after Christmas when I have to straighten all my winders.
Supplies needed:
Winder
Cup Of Ice Water
Sink
1. Get the water running and get it hot
2. Once the water is hot allow it fill up.
3. Once full throw winders in the hot water, allow to sit for 1-3 minutes or until soft.
4. Pull a winder out of the water with a FORK. Do not touch the water or you will get burned.
5. Straighten a winder with your hands quickly and dip the teeth in the ice water.
6. Repeat 4-5 as needed for each winder. You may have to do each winder more than once depending on how bent they are. Hasbro Winders come coiled up very tightly and usually they take 2-3 tries the first time.

RE: How to straighten a ripcord - mesorangerxx - Dec. 13, 2010

Maybe it contributed to the winder breaking, but they do break. Especially the standard TT and Hasbro winders, with the circular grips.
