I've recently started using hemp twine to attach my bands, tubes and pouches. I have been getting great longevity and have not gotten any rips or tears on rubber from the ends that I use this twine. As someone who loves his waxed string, I can tell you that hemp twine is a lot more friendly to rubber. I just wanted to let members know that hemp twine is also an option if you haven't used it before , a helluva good one too!!!! [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]
That's good to know. I have plenty of it, I really like it to finish off my bicycle handlebar tape. I'll coat it with shellac after I make about a dozen wraps, It looks so much nicer than just tape.

Thanks Turk, it's now on my try-it-out list. I had a set of hemp forks once but they always shot high.
Seriously, if it weren't for one narrow-minded, self-centered bureaucrat by the name of Harry Jacob Anslinger, hemp would be appreciated for the miracle plant that it is, in all its manifestations.

No problem buddy! Hemp is supposedly better than cotton when holding things together as it has longer fibers than cotton. Give it a try, I'm sure you would like it! [emoji4]
