				In a recent thread, TyWraps were discussed as a solution
 for wire bundle management.  We had some discussions on
 these products about ten years back . . .
 
 In years since, I've had occasion to throw out stocks
 of unused TyWraps given that they had become brittle with
 age . . . the buckles would snap off in the ordinary process
 of applying the wrap.
 
 Be aware that not all that is plastic is Nylon 6,6. Evolved
 over the last 80+ years by DuPont. This material and its
 close cousins have found their way into all manner of component,
 many of which perform in under-hood environment of automobiles.
 
 When purchasing these critters, look for a 6-6, 6/6, 66 or even
 a 6,6 description of the nylon. The last time I was in Harbor
 Freight, many of their offerings bore such markings . . . but
 some did not . . . especially the smaller ones in assorted colors.
 
 All the wraps I pitched a few years ago were smaller sizes
 in various colors. Some had been in my Dad's inventory for untold
 years and were literally falling apart.
 
 My favorite bundle security uses Dacron flat lace applied
 like so . . .
 
 https://goo.gl/H3z1EQ
 
 Did a job for a rancher friend yesterday where the wiring was
 installed and initially held in place with some TyWraps he had
 laying around . . . after it was up and running, I dug out the
 roll of flat lace and installed a wrap adjacent to each of the
 TyWraps. Those plastic thingies MIGHT fall off in a few years
 but I'm betting the string will still be on duty.

				Good point Bob...
 In general BLACK Ty-Wraps are UV and Ozone proof.  The white ones become brittle with time and exposure.
 SOME - not all colored Ty-Wraps may also work.  
 One might even find notes on the Ty-Wrap packaging as to UV & Ozone resistant.

				FWF I used a lot of flat lace along with some adel clamps and I'm really happy with the way it turned out.  I have some pictures here:
 http://www.rv8.ch/fwf-wiring-photos/
 
 I also did some testing with a good heat gun on the lace to make sure that I understood how it would behave if it got really hot - I was impressed.  It basically didn't seem to care, and I could not get it to melt or change state in any way with the heat gun that will cause Tefzel wiring to finally melt and smoke.
 In parallel, I bought some Nomex lace, which also does not care about getting cooked by a heat gun, and will probably add this next to the normal lace in places that might be exposed to additional heat from the exhaust pipes.  Will give some feedback in a few years when I'm finally flying.   
 Not sure why, but working with the lace was very satisfying.

 I also did some testing with a good heat gun on the lace to make sure that I understood how it would behave if it got really hot - I was impressed.  It basically didn't seem to care, and I could not get it to melt or change state in any way with the heat gun that will cause Tefzel wiring to finally melt and smoke.
 In parallel, I bought some Nomex lace, which also does not care about getting cooked by a heat gun, and will probably add this next to the normal lace in places that might be exposed to additional heat from the exhaust pipes.  Will give some feedback in a few years when I'm finally flying.   
 Not sure why, but working with the lace was very satisfying.

 In general BLACK Ty-Wraps are UV and Ozone proof.  The white ones become brittle with time and exposure.
 SOME - not all colored Ty-Wraps may also work.  
 One might even find notes on the Ty-Wrap packaging as to UV & Ozone resistant.

  In a recent thread, TyWraps were discussed as a solution
  for wire bundle management.  We had some discussions on
  these products about ten years back . . .
  
  In years since, I've had occasion to throw out stocks
  of unused TyWraps given that they had become brittle with
  age . . . the buckles would snap off in the ordinary process
  of applying the wrap.
  
  Be aware that not all that is plastic is Nylon 6,6. Evolved
  over the last 80+ years by DuPont. This material and its
  close cousins have found their way into all manner of component,
  many of which perform in under-hood environment of automobiles.
  
  When purchasing these critters, look for a 6-6, 6/6, 66 or even
  a 6,6 description of the nylon. The last time I was in Harbor
  Freight, many of their offerings bore such markings . . . but
  some did not . . . especially the smaller ones in assorted colors.
  
  All the wraps I pitched a few years ago were smaller sizes
  in various colors. Some had been in my Dad's inventory for untold
  years and were literally falling apart.
  
  My favorite bundle security uses Dacron flat lace applied
  like so . . .

  Did a job for a rancher friend yesterday where the wiring was
  installed and initially held in place with some TyWraps he had
  laying around . . . after it was up and running, I dug out the
  roll of flat lace and installed a wrap adjacent to each of the
  TyWraps. Those plastic thingies MIGHT fall off in a few years
  but I'm betting the string will still be on duty.
