Thought I'd ask if anyone has ever tried using alternative materials for band tying due to lack of availability in Canada. For a chorded wishbone, any 'Red Green' type solutions for dyneema? Thin shoelace?
Wonder if you could get away with using 400 lb black mono shooting line as a wishbone?
For tying off the wishbone (using the constrictor knot), I have found that contractor's grade string line works really well (the bright orange/red/yellow stuff at Home Depot). Tie the constrictor knot, leave loose, then spray with silicone spray, then tighten. Works awesome. Braided ice-fishing line doesn't work well, I can tell you that...
