braid them?  you have a lot of free time on your hands?

The problem with braiding them is when one needs to be replaced.  I know many people use so called super strings but I have never done and never thought it would look any better by doing it.  Use google and earch for how to make super strings and you may find a lot more info.

I zip tie mine also, but the guy at lauderdale christmas did a how to on braiding superstrings, unfortunately his site is showing as an attack site when I tried to access it just a few minutes ago so i can't give you the webpage, sorry.

I don't braid them as it would be a super pain to replace broken strands.

When I create my bundles I set up two heavy saw horses and attach some trigger grip clamps to them that have a long metal slider on them.  The slider sticks up in the air like a pole.  I then spread them apart according to the distance of the strands I'm working at.  Get the strings laid out and then go about zipping them together with a bunch of zip ties..

I ended up zip tying them. It worked out fine. Thanks

4" zip ties -- well worth doing IMHO, ESP on bigger display items. ... Has not been a maintenance issue at all.
