In Response To: S&G with Zip Ties (grant)

: Jim et al: How small of a zip tie did you use? Are they small enough to
: thread through the 1/16" drill holes that Vaclav recommends or did
: you have to go bigger? The drawbacks appear to be the size of the drill
: hole and the fact that you cannot readjust the zip ties like wire. But
: just cut and replace I suppose?

I had to drill a slightly larger hole, not 1/8". Just used the smallest ties they had at Home Despot. I wouldn't use the zip ties without the cable tool I mention on the website, they tear up your fingers, too. I first used that approach when I built my ultra-light SOF this past summer.
