E-Z Line is basically Lycra thread. It is made of many, many very fine strands that create a lot of surface area. Therefore, thin CA sets almost instantly when you touch a drop to the line. This is a benefit (big benefit) and a curse. The benefit is you do not have to knot it. You just wind the line around whatever you are belaying it too and then touch it with a very small amount of CA on the tip of a toothpick. It is instantly glued and will NOT come undone. This allows you to do nice things when rigging a model ship like tying the vertical radio antenna wires to the horizontal ones by touching the junction between the two with the CA, pulling the connected line up tight and trimming it close with a very sharp Xacto knife. The lines are not tied together, just held by CA.
The curse is if you accidentally get CA on a part of the line you do not wish to, that too is instantly glued and probably has to be scraped. I intend to string my telephone poles with E-Z Line medium weight. Incidentally, they make two thicknesses. The Essex above at 1:350 scale uses fine. They also make it in several colors. I'm using their "patina green" to simulate bare copper telephone lines. I used their beige color for the signal halyards on the Essex's island.
