Just another idea on what to use for dial string. I recently found out that builders string works perfectly. This string is used by builders, with a bubble gauge, to insure walls are level and true. It's less than $3.00 a roll and what you have left over, can be used for lots of other projects around the house. I found that if you put a small piece of masking tape on the ends it makes it much easier to work with. Remove the tape after tying your knots.
Hi,

Thanks for the tip - is builders string made of nylon, or ???
