Use of Teflon Rope for spacer

Jon,

I've been thinking about your ICs for at least a year. Now have all the components and am in the process of building a short "throw away" version for practice. I'm using 89259 twisted with 1506A and will use shielding.

Just got back from Lowe's and paid $2.37 for 18" of 5/32" Teflon rope. My question is whether I need to make continuous runs of it the full length of my IC? Since there are two cores twisted together, there needs to be one length of Teflon rope spacer on each side of the twist or double the finished length. Would the properties of the IC be compromised by using segments of rope? I will be doing the mummy wrap with Teflon plumber's tape over the above combination and then adding the shield.

Thank you,
Gary
