Abstract

An end portion of a bundle of thread-like bodies to be set is dipped into a solidifiable liquid. At least a part of said bundle, adjacent to the predetermined level of the solidifiable liquid, is contacted with a specific liquid or gas which substantially prevents wicking of said solidifiable liquid along said thread-like bodies due to capillary action. The solidifiable liquid is not drawn up through the bundle beyond predetermined level of the solidifiable liquid, and solidified at the predetermined level.
