Gene,

	Boy, that sure brings back some memories. I was taught to cable lace by an 
amateur radio operator when I helped him build his station back in the 
70's. Laced up about 100 feet of cables. He was very critical, evenly 
spaced loops, proper direction, blocking
the pain from the blisters! His tape was not waxed so it would not hold the 
loops, you had to keep tension on the tape continuously.

	I still have a roll of polyester tape, unwaxed, that I use. I have bags of 
black cable ties but use tape whenever the cable will flex or have bends.
