Pieters,
Don't bitch a whole lot, but I really gotta get this one out for venting and warning
others. This is my second time around using Poly Fiber system and am well
pleased except for the following: I ran out of cord (500 yds) from the first
time and had to re-order (from AS & S) to finish this second project. I was
rocking right along almost enjoying the lacing until I received the re-order
of cord. It was ordered under the same part number at AS & S but when received
it was much heavier cord and much waxier and only 296 yards. P/N 09-03800.
Talk about difficult. It was twice as hard to use and took at least twice
as long to lace. I was so pissed I called PolyFiber and ask them about it. The
tech I talked to said that he was aware of the cord being heavier and said
that it was all that was available. So, does anyone know of any other source
of cord that I might replace what I am going to dispose of? I have finished
with this project but will be doing more lacing in the future, I hope.

Don't know about a new source of cord, But I just saved a ton of money
on insurance.....
Only kidding, but I did by chance just land in your fair city about 2
hours ago (ala Delta 767, not the piet....)
Is this the flat cord or the round cord we are talking about?
