I told the list I'd look into some of lower
cost options for Dacron/polyester lacing
material.
I brought this spool in off Amazon for about 10.50
postage paid.

It's indeed the same stuff as the mil-spec
flat lace. Impervious to 400F exposure. Quite
adequate in strength for bundle ties. It's
thinner so easier to put 'pressure' on the
constrained materials . . . but it works real
well with the noose-knot but you don't need
to put a strangle hold on the wrap.
It will live happily under the cowl too.
I'm keeping this spool in my bin of tying
materials. It will be handy for sewing up
rips in flat materials too.

Un impeachable logic: George Carlin asked, "If black boxes
survive crashes, why don't they make the whole airplane
out of that stuff?"

My a&p neighbor just rewired his RV6 using rib lacing tape made for fabric covered a/c. Doesn't seem to be any cheaper than wire lacing tape, but what about this?

It's polyester . . . should be fine. Good find.
