    A word of caution about elastic thread. In my experience it loses its stretch over time. In a year or two you may have slack rigging. Or maybe I bought cheap thread...

    Sound advice for sure, but this brand of thread was anything but cheap. Having looked at it again this afternoon it might actually be too fine to use for my eyesight. Even their 'standard' size is incredibly fine!?
