For use like Techflex. I want some nylon that is thick and tightly braided, but very soft.

You can get nylon multifilament from wirecare.com and cableorganizer.com

It's fairly thick, but extremely soft, and personally I much prefer it to TechFlex. Keep in mind that due to the tighter braid, it expands much much less, (hardly at all) so make sure to get the right size.

This sums it up perfectly.

threading wires in them is a PAIN, but sooooooooo worth the effort.



When I first saw multifilament nylon come off the spool, my immediate impression was it looked and felt a lot like a shoelace.
