Band tying line

This one Waxed band tying twine.

That is a very nice band tying job there.
That tying approach will make it a lot easier to replace wishbones
Nice idea -
This is an example of waxed nylon whipping line that is not flattened and which IMO is not suitable for this application. The reason I don't like it is because it will cut into the rubber band and your hands when pulled as hard as it needs to be pulled to make the constrictor knot. Actually I use the double constrictor knot and then two more constrictor knots.

Dan I got my flat twine 30 years ago from a shoe repair, I believe saddle shops also carry it. I'm going to will
mine to my kid's kids.;)

For what it's worth, I use regular nylon line that's a bit rough exterior, no wax. One constrictor knot... never had one fail yet.

I use 100# dacron and have not fail me yet. It comes in black but I ran out of it so been using the regular white/green since I have like 500 yards of it. Most tackle shop that cater to of offshore fishing carry the black stuff since it's used to make wind-on leaders....:)
