    Drip strings

    Do they need to be cotton? Seems like I read somewhere they should be. Went to WW today and the shoestrings weren't labeled as to material. They all look synthetic.

    they can be any material...
    all you're doing is diverting the water from your main suspension...think of a railroad track switching station

    Cotton probably wicks a bit better than synthetics, but anything should work. Got any rags at the house? Cut a strip 1" side and 4" or 5" long and tie that on. Should work fine.
