pick handles

[xboxteen01]

i just got the southord 14 pce set and im having a hard time putting the handles on.i read somewhere that hot water helps but i searched and couldn't find it. anyone have tips for sliding those rubber grips on?

You can't find any hot water? Other than that, maybe try rolling the handle up and then rolling it onto the pick.

are you broken? you can't find hot water?... how did you figure out how to use a computer then?

[JackNco]

its in the taps, although in this case im not sure u should be playing with heated things

If hot water cannot be found, make some. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heater good luck...

If you soak the handles in the very hot tap water for awile it should make them flexible enough to use relatively easily.

God you guys are a cynical lot. He means he can't find the thread about hot water being an aid to put handles on his picks.

[freakparade3]

And in his defense I could not find it either.

Here are two posts that mention getting the handles on:

we know, were just having a bit of fun. and besides i don't see why you need to find a thread about it when u just described it.

I use boiling water and 2 pairs of pliers. put the grip on the pick as far as it will go without water, like 1 half of an inch. or like 1cm, or however far you can get it on. then take some pliars, and hold the pick at the top of the pick, what I did was put in the pick in the little grooves in the pliers for better grip, dunked the grip in boiling water, took the other pliers, took hold of the grip and pushed. You should be able to get it.

Yea, i picked that up during the second post. Was gona post the link but i couldn't find it either. Just having a little fun. Your opinion of the handles would be apreciated when you do get them on. I didnt bother getting any as despite trying pick coverings, i just like the metal (sure i'd feel differently after a few hours though).

LOL just got thru reading this humorus post. I have a question though. Why do these commercial picks not come with the handles on them?

[blake1803]

Because the handles are optional; many people prefer the picks without them. If you're able to add/remove them yourself, I suppose it just gives you that much more flexibility in your preference.
