Review: Very flexible and excellent quality easy to work with - This is an excellent product very flexible Works excellent just what I needed to finish my antique wheelchair
Review: Size 9 was right on for 1/4” groove - Before I started my caning project I watched a couple U-Tube‘s. One of the videos showed a size chart that if you had a quarter inch groove you needed a #9.5 spline. I panicked because I knew I looked up what size I needed on this listing and it was a 9.0, not a 9.5. Upon delivery, the spine was still in the bag, it look like it was going to be too small/ narrow to fit secure in the empty groove. Once I had the cane on the chair, it ended up fitting perfect and like a glove. This is my first time ever caning and the spine was the easiest part. Fitting the rattan cane was time consuming and tedious. I soaked the spine in water while I was working on the caning. I did not soak the spine with the cane. If I had not soaked this spline, it would’ve cracked and been too hard to put in the bends. There was minimal shrinkage if any. That was probably poor cutting:) You can tell I only had a small piece remaining after going around the chair. For an estimated chair opening of 11”x11”, I used roughly 41.25” of spline. The spline came in a sealed plastic bag and before i opened it I swore it could not possibly be 6 feet but it actually was 6‘1“. It worked out perfect and I’m happy I followed the size guidelines on the seller’s desertcart listing. Since I purchased this spline, in days it’s already gone up in price over a dollar, thank u Mr President. Recommend but I wish they included suggested install instructions for soaking.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the length of the roll 6 feet?**
A: More than 6’.

**Q: what kind of glue do you recommend for caning a chair?**
A: Simple Elmer's White Glue works great. Thanks!

**Q: The spline in place is between 3/16" and 1/4". In ordering the replacement, which measurement should it be?**
A: I would provide for the 3/16" to 7/32" for the separation and soak the spline for 24 hours before the install.

**Q: I saw a table which specified #9.5 for 1/4" channel. Is this going to be too narrow? Do you offer a kit w/ wedges, cane mat, and reed?**
A: #9.5 is not a standard size but other makers could call them something different. Yes, we do have 18x18" kits with wedges, cane webbing and spline in various patterns.
