Elastic Thread for Rigging
.8mm elastic thread is slightly smaller than what comes in the resin ship kits, but it works really well.
In the Blood & Pigment Shop, we offer small bundles in multiple colors. If you have a large collection of ships, you can order larger, bulk elastic string spools from Amazon.
