Temporary whipping

[Stovemandan]

I've heard of them being used, maybe on JustJeffs site?

I think that's where I saw them used.

you could just tie an over-hand knot on each end, but be sure to put a loop of cord or a rod to act as a jam so that you can get it out if it needs to be adjusted... that is how i had mine for awhile before i just sewed in channels.
