Re: Round Belting - Solid vs. Hollow, Polycord vs. McMaster

Back at the Atlanta Championships in 2006 I got a sample of some yellow polycord for a team (sorry I don't remember which team) that is very rough almost like sand paper. It is 1/4" in diameter. I am not seeing something like it at McMaster but it is hard to tell. Does anyone know the exact stuff I am talking about and where to get it? Maybe a part number? McMaster says the metric stuff is "rough" but how rough? It doesn't say about the texture of the inch stuff. What polycord products have teams used successfully in the past? We can't afford to buy a bunch of this stuff to try out so need to limit the selection.
