Hi All

Jim mentioned embedding fishing line (or at least that he does not do it).

However I use exactly the same method of embedding for nylon that I use with
wire... I have a soldering iron with a sawcut in the tip and reduce the
amount of power to the iron by using a silicon diode to cut out half of the
'half cycles' of the normal AC supply.

Give some details.

The soldering iron does not reach solder melting temperature, but this is
not very important as the amount of heat transferred depends on the speed of
dragging the hot tip along the 'wire'  or 'nylon' and the amount of wax that
is liquified in the process.

Takes a few goes to develop the skill and you will end up with the odd small
hole now and again.
