[simpits-tech] Wiring harness layout board...

[Ben Jones]

Glad to be of assistance

Wax tape wax thread is great and really spiffy to look at when done 
correctly, I did hours of it on a Experimental aircraft only to tear the 
absolute Sheit  out of the wax thread when pulling through the aircraft. oh 
well I got better at in situ wax thread repairs after that 8-)
