Shade Repair

Question

I need to restring one of my day/night shades. I see how it is done. My question is has anyone had success with other type of cord or material. The guy who owned my rig before me did a couple with wire. It's not the prettiest job but it works. I was thinking of heavy fishing line but would like other ideas.

Thanks as always

When the one over my bed broke I just tied the cord back together. That was 6 years ago. After you restring or retie you can adjust the tension which will help in how smoothly the shades work.

I haven't used it myself, but some people on here swear by high-test fishing line. I've got a couple to do before the season starts so I may give it a try even though I have left over string from previous repairs.
