Dental Floss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I use a version of this whipping technique. Use a palm and sailmakers needle to thread the diagonal whips under the whipping. With the needle the dagonal whipping passes through the rope fibers and holds the whipping in place. Oh yeah, use REAL whipping twine. Dental floss is barely strong enough for it's intended purpose let alone whipping a line.
