Seth, the 6 ply waxed flax cord is available from a variety of online vendors. It’s what we’ve always used. I personally have no experience with waxed polyester (sounds like maybe it wouldn’t grip as well?).

I have also seen a lot of waxed polyester options (same sizes, but cheaper and in a variety of colors). Can you provide 1- a reason to use or avoid polyester (the original text only speaks to nylon), and 2- more details about the preferred flax you use (diameter, vendor, etc)?

That is, it’s used to secure a rope or line around an object.
