I use a very long flemish twisted string with about 16 or so plies of B50.  I have a loop on one end and make timber hitches for the other.

It's jsut a piece of parachute cord. It has a loop knot at one end and a timber hitch at the other. Lasts indefinately and it took a gradn total of thirty seonds to make ;D.

sam harper has a decent string build along.  i also use a flemish loop on one end and a timber hitch on the other.  remember its adjustable so don't tie it too long when tillering.  its harder to see flaws with a really long string.  should hang down an inch or two.

For the long string I use sash cord. For tillering I use old bow strings. Jawge
