Not nylon. It's hygroscopic. Polypropylene is better. You can get all sorts of different weaves (not the blue builders rope stuff).

If you're desperate I can lop you off a couple of meters from a reel I have if you lob something in your local RNLI box.

How thick what material?

I never thought rope would have so many differing opinions...

Diy ?
Give this a try

DIR-diver.com - Stagebottle rigging

I used it on my 7L & it works well enough, bought the "rope" from Great Mills, think it was 6mm poly, but they have quite a good selection.

Just follow the instructions on the link. If it works for you, PayPal them a few pence to help keep them in black !

I use 25mm webbing and sew it with high strain monofilament - just to throw another idea into the pot.
