Replacement String

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I'm building a few old Castle sets from 2nd hand lots I've bought and often find that the string from the drawbridge is missing or broken.

This type of string.

I don't want to make an order on Bricklink for such a thing so does anyone have experience with replacing them from a major retailer like Amazon (especially UK), please? Hard to know what string to order without having it in my hands.

Ideally, I want the same thickness and in black. A whole reel of it.

I use what is often referred to as "heavy duty upholstery thread for shoes" from ebay. What I have is slightly thinner than the official LEGO string, but very strong. It is also handy for stringing up flying models from the ceiling.

Thank you both. I can now make a more informed decision.

Awesome replacement for lego's thick stuff: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JKQJZ56/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 wax coated cotton so you can melt the ends and it wont fray.

Good for their thinner stuff: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078JYCWZM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That's great. Thank you.
