Batten size

Message par ag4171 » jeu. oct. 24, 2019 1:07 pm

Hi there!
I received my 5m yesterday, and had the best session so far!
Anyway I noticed that the battens seem to be a bit to long , they look as they are forcing the fabric in the leading edge too much. I didn't notice that in the 7m. Should I cut them a bit? Anyone noticed this? I'm affraid leaving this like that would lead to the batten to eat through the fabric in time. I will send photos if this sounds completely strange.
Cheers
Ag

Hello,

it could be too long of few mm. Need to see some pictures please. Use imgur website to load them please.

If you cut them, round the tip with sand paper and cover the end with some nice tape.

Thanks,

Here go the photos, another thing it does is a noise because of pressing against the leading edge.Image
