Thanks very much boggie, I will check it out.

i think it would be great to use in conjunction with brass tube or gaspathch as well. say you have a turnbuckle mounted to a wing in the past you had to run the mono thru the tb and back thru a 1mm length of brass tube and pull tight to make the wrap that holds the cable end in a loop. get me.

I get you Albie!   

I used polymide tubing in conjunction with brass tube on my Pfalz.

Von Buckles...THAT'S what I'm talking about.  That looks sweet.

  I once experimented with some small diameter electrical grade heat shrink tubing. It was possible to use a fine sewing needle to expand the entire inside diameter to make it easier to pass through the monofilament.  Perhaps this might also work with the Vention Medical tubing although I am unsure what  micro sized tapered instrument would fit into a .010 diameter tube for the purpose of stretching it. Maybe a piece of .015 inch diameter music wire with a finely ground tip.
