John, I managed to get some 1mm while I was at the boat show but I cant find any for sale in Guernsey, I can buy 2mm from local boat chandlers & that is what I use.
I do however use shark fin spears & 2mm is just right for them.

Foxfish i also have some 2mm dynema but i find it too thick.Both my guns are rigged with the thinner stuff and it's much better.

Plus i like to crimp my dynema and 2mm won't fit in the crimps.

So you are not talking about using it in the conventional way - to replace metal wishbones?
If you are rigging you guns running line then you could use one of the many 1mm braids available.
Dynema is just a brand of high quality braid but we have loads of other types available in our boat chandlery shops.
I used (before mono) to use a 1mm waxed braid normally used for binding the ends of rope, it was very good a virtually tangle free.

I do use dynema for my wishbones and 2mm is still too thick to go through the screw caps on the end of the rubbers.

I did make up several wishbones with the last of my dynema so they are OK it's rigging my gun i need it for.

I think i may have found a source so i will let you know

Jimydoe2you sells some good/ cheap stuff.

Why do you crimp it and not tie?
