Hum.... I was looking for something thinner.... What I see on eBay, I could probably find them at Home Depot or craft shops. I'll visit a few and see what I can dig up. |

There is always the chance that thin lacing cord will cut through the insulation and cause a short. As others have said, you want lacing cord around 1/8" or 2-3mm wide. If you end up with something like dental floss, don't pull it too tight. |

Thin waxed cord is sometimes used in upholstery work. It might be found at a fabric or craft store. I have also seen some kind of thin tacky clear plastic monofilament used for cable dressing. But I suspect waxed lacing cord is the best option. |
