Question 1

Could this be used inside of a electric motor for the stator windings?  It would be exposed to some moderate heat but noting extremly hot.

Accepted Answer

WAXAW waxed twine can be used for thousands of tasks around the house or at work, we keep finding new uses.....stator windings is not one we've yet considered or even imagined! The 100% polyester is not conductive, which is good for your purpose, but the wax does have a melting point, though we don't have a detailed spec to give you on that at the moment, though outside sources do indicate wax in general melts at 115-150F, so the level of heat would be a critical factor in your experiment. If you give it a try, let us know and thanks for the question!

Question 2

What does “loop strength” mean?

Accepted Answer

" 115-Pound Loop Strength Cable Tie Down Lacing" means that a loop that is tied is strong enough to take 115 pounds and still hold.

Question 3

I want to use this for lashing a bamboo trellis.  Approximately how long will the waxed twine last outdoors year round?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for the great question! We have a lot of customers who use WAXAW waxed twine for bamboo lashing as it is very user friendly for this application. Makes it super easy to make a tightly wrapped and firm joint between bamboo cross pieces. Hopefully some of them will share their experiences here. Though we cannot give you a fixed answer, our twine is not only UV resistant as it is a synthetic polyester and also water resistant thanks to the the light wax coating.  It should outperform and outlast any rope or twines that soak in moisture and/or include organic compounds, such as cotton.

Question 4

How can I get this in white??   It says in the description that it is available as black or white, but there is no option to change from black

Accepted Answer

The white roll is a separate product listing on Amazon. You can search on Amazon for: WAXAW white twine.  Also, you can cut and paste this Amazon specific code into the search box:  B075F5PS47.  Apologies for any confusion and thanks for asking!
