Does someone have a recommendation for a specific material the string should be made of?
- upofadown 8mo agoBack in my day the local telephone company used waxed lacing cable for that sort of thing[1]. These days it seems that polypropylene string is popular (search on "conduit pull string"). You basically want something that is slippery and will tend to not get stuck. I have used Dacron fishing line, but that is mostly because I had a bunch of it laying around. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_lacing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_lacing
