They make good toggles for using in your marlin spike hitches on your hammock, cut to about 3" lengths of course !

The thicker 11mm or so ones do anyway, wouldn't want much if any thinner for that.

Cheers, Paul

Got to go outdoors and ask if you can have a rummage in their spares bin. Check what's on offer first then come up with an odd measurement not in stock. They usually let you take one or two for free.

not at the store near me kind sir the staff there once refused me to use the loo and ive got a radar card at that!!
but thank you for the advice im looking to make a take down bow to be perfectly frank and ive got a really good idea how to do it just struggling with solid glass fibre most you find is hollow so I thought of mixing some bibreglass resin and soaking thin nylon cord in it the pulling it up the hollow core hey presto solid fibre glass the core will stop the glass from shattering when under bow pressure tension in theory
