   Like Jim, my experience with baling twine is the natural fibers, but   
   two thoughts - how does it handle the elevated temperatures, and   
   does it unravel like classic sisal?    The modern LCD monitor isn't   
   anywhere NEAR as hot as a CRT, but some cords deteriorate in the   
   higher temperatures.  I was originally thinking of using a MIL Spec   
   (aircraft wire bundle) lacing cord (nylon or polyester, impregnated   
   with a fungicidal wax), but had run out of it and didn't feel like   
   buying a 500 yard spool.  Then I thought of a high temperature wire   
   (Tefzel which is a Teflon, or fiberglass insulation).  Then I   
   actually measured the internal temps, and found 120F/49C max.   
      
   As for unraveling - I've got three cats, so there is already kitty   
   hair everywhere.
