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.

Even dental floss is too thin unless you are lacing bundles inside a small enclosure.
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.

David Hess:
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.
