In Response To: Strip: deck line (Randy Echtinaw)

I used nylon line on my kayak, and it stretches from guitar string tight to sloppy when it gets wet. As I vaguely recall, someone mentioned that polyester line behaves better with regard to this problem.

Anyone out there want to add their 2 bits worth on the stretch when wet issue?

Best regards,
