Greetings all,
There was a post some time ago about new product for Aircraft Modellers that I think Skipper highlighted as being useful for boat rigging.
I forgot to bookmark or record it at the time. Does anyone remember what the product was called and would you know if their is a UK supplier for same.
Many thanks
Cheers
Al

Alan,
It's not a new product, and I'm not quite sure if it's what you are refering to, but Lycra thread is used by the wingnuts for rigging aircraft, and there has been many discussions of such here at MSW as well...works great for ship rigging, just enough stretch and give.

Hi Gunney,
This stuff came out about a year ago. It was designed for aircraft makers, very elastic make up and featured on sthe ite. I'll have another search to see if I can find the original post.
