Boiling nylon props

Way back when, it was necessary to occasionally boil nylon (TopFlite and Grish) props to keep the blades on.

Now?? What about Master Airscrew, APC and others?

Advice, please.

From reading this forum the guys who talked the most
about boiling props are Isky and Currell. Hope they chime in
to refresh the memory banks.

I used to boil my Topflite Nylon and occasional Grish props. If you didn't, there was a good chance you could end looking like a Unicorn. I don't boil modern day composite props. Windy will soak them in hot water to repitch them. I have seen him do this
on those great videos of his.

I talk to the man himself that makes the apc props and he told me you should not boil any of the nylon props including his props.
Hope this helps.

The modern stuff is not the same as the old nylon like the TF and Grish.
