Hello Builder/Paddlers,
I tried aluminum because was handy and I don't like the larger holes needed for cable ties.
It worked great to stitch loosely but the aluminum broke when I tried to tighten the stitches.
Perhaps we need a new category " THINGS THAT DO NOT WORK" or something like that.

Nah, there wouldn't be enough capacity on the server to hold it all....
....and, yes, I'll put my hand up as a major contributor .
Seriously though, if you use the smallest cable ties you can get the epoxy will fill the holes fairly well.

Re: Aluminum wire
Thanks Bob, I tried the smallest cable ties I could find but they would barely make the stitch loop and the latches would not hold for long.
Not to worry, I'll find another use for them at some point. Tie wire is working well.
