[Milsurplus] Cable lacing

Sat, 10 Apr 2004 12:30:45 -0500

Harness lacing cord is not just ordinary twine.  It is not round, but flat 
(kind of like a narrow ribbon) so that it will not cut into the outer wires. 
  It does have a wax like impregnation.  It still can be purchased.  A 
friend of mine (KT4AD) bought some, but I don't know the source.
