Subj: Re: [DR-L] reed thread substitution
Date: Sat, 3 Jul 2004 00:42:37 -0400

I have used standard dental floss- use slightly less pull. Take the
spool out of the box and hold it in your hand. It gives a nice
transparent look if you coat with nailpolish. In a pinch, I akso bought
nylon twisted mason plumbline, untwisted the three threads, and used one
alone.
