Climbing accessory cord.....It is in another league :)
Del - fastflight is dyneema :)
Personally I make a fastflight string with about 20 strands.

Yes indeed... I use Fastflite as a generic name for one of the plethora of modern low stretch materials AstroFlite, Angel Majesty et al... what I really mean is anything better than Dacron!

Has anybody tried  FARMERS 10,000  its great for tillering and has many other uses . ;)

Cameroo:
A while ago I switched to Del's technique, and I find it to be the cat's pajamas ;) I use a continuous loop string for tillering, made from Fast Flight, with both loops served. Use it right to the end of tilllering, and when the bow is done, I use it to make a proper string of the correct length. That way the string serving on the "good string" isn't roughed up during the tillering process.
