Either of these will work ( regular thread is not up to the job ) but they are both a little " slippery " especially the waxed twine. I've found that the knots can occasionally work them selves loose( I cut my thread close atto the knot so theres not a long tail of thread ).  A little dot of super glue on your knots will keep them closed perfectly.

Bernarr:
Thanks for the superglue tip Allan, I'll have to remember that one!

They certainly are Ian, he sent over some more progress pics, he just has the fingers left to finish up-
