A bit of help, please

[mehan]

I don't sew or know anything about it, but I read these boards and rejoice in all of your talent.  I need a little help.  I was speaking to an avid sempstress this weekend who does not go on line very much and was telling her about a thread I read here talking about using (I thought) heavy duty zip ties for boning in corsets. I wanted to send her that info, however,   I have tried searching for it and cannot find it.  Perhaps it was before the "epic fail" of the board.

Could someone refresh my memory so I could share this with her?

Mehan,  I found this thread on corset boning.

 That thread was a great help to me. 
  Be sure to tell her it's the A/C Duct ties she wants, I seem to remember they were in, or near, the plumbing supplies area.  I had to find them myself, since the employees were clueless.
  They are in a totally different part of Home Depot than the small ones,which are usually used for electrical cables.

They are available at most Home improvement stores.

If she is buying at Home Depot, I strongly recommend the Malco brand, over the other brand/s of the same size. They are *much* sturdier. (I was unpleasantly surprised when my second or third pack was WAY more flexible than I was used to, and now I religiously stick to Malco.)

you guys are the absolute best.  Thanks ever so much!
