How to pull string through a pipe like a pro. #diy #howtofix #cable
What happens here
Begin by taking a small plastic shopping bag, such as those commonly used for groceries. Visually inspect the bag to ensure there are no tears or holes, as this is crucial for the method to work effectively. Next, take your chosen line, such as fishing string or jetline, and securely tie it around the opening of the plastic bag. The goal is to create a 'parachute' shape with the bag. Cinch the bag's opening around the line and tie a tight knot to ensure it doesn't detach during the pulling process. Use a handy knife or blade to trim any excess plastic from the bag, shaping it further into a small parachute-like device that can easily be drawn through the conduit.
Goal: Create a secure, parachute-like device attached to the pulling line.
