G'day All, as just a wild brainstorm, would dental floss work as a thread/string? It is slightly waxy and I assume it has to be fairly hard wearing.

I think the round waxed would be the ticket unless you were doing some real long runs. You could wax the fishing line too. I never would have thought about waxing the (braided) line.

Ralph, what exactly did you use for a weight?
