Band tying!!!

[shaneshac]

Can someone tell me what the best line for tying the wishbone into the bands.

Is dyneema the only way to go or could I use 130lb test Dacron which I have lots of?

Where can I buy dyneema 1.5mm and 2mm online (reliable service please!!!)

Shane whats the approximate thickness of 130lb test dacron?

I heard lots of people using dyneema without problem but i aslo heard somewhere dacron is ok too. May be Riffe & RA guys helps more than that.

I'm trying wait few minutes and I will get in the proximity

 

[Memo]

closer!


I'm not sure about the thickness of this line, it seems to be thin and vould cut the rubber but in the end its Dyneema isnt it

 

[shaneshac]

the dacron is about 1.5mm thick but it is hollow?????

 

[shaneshac]

What about normal 2mm nylon braided line (standard reel line) will that work???

 

[Memo]

I think tye line has to be smooth and strong, if your standart nylon line is smooth enough and have good knot characteristics then try it, IMO it should work fine...

I have never done it yet, but people in my area use 200lb parachute cord and buy it from Army/Navy Surplus stores. I believe its nylon cord.

 

[Memo]

after all it has to be smooth, greasy, strong and about 1.5mm -2mm for a good knot.
