  • A. dipping an end portion of a bundle of thread-like bodies into a solidifiable liquid, said bodies being so disposed that capillaries exist between said bodies;

    B. contacting at least that part of said bundle which is immediately adjacent said end portion with a polar gas selected from the group consisting of ammonia gas, a primary amine gas and a secondary amine gas and mixtures thereof, said contacting step occuring prior to exposure of that adjacent part to said liquid whereby said gas acts to prevent said capillary action; and
