Sash cord ... how to feed it through ?

[rideforever]

if you are going to the trouble of opening up the sash pocket it is just parsimonious to not replace the (relatively cheap) sash cord, especially as the redecoration of the window will cost more than qnit of cord should the old cord break in 6 months time.

2.5 hrs this morning start to finish, including the hoovering, 4 new cords, even put some mastic in .... just needs a lick of paint tomorrow.
Can't be done much faster than that ?

It's basically an offcut of lead, so if you ever get any flashing replaced, ask for a bit of the old flashing

I also bought some Everlasto cord from Ebay, but using it with it's nylon fibres in the core which are not woven to the sheath I felt once again that I have been had. And this is just another manufacturer that is selling garbage which telling you of its amazing benefits. I see the same everwhere, they have even created a fashion for using chipboard osb for flatroofs with many high sounding reasons even though it is the cheapest material you can buy.
Just like with shoes and jeans that are more plastic than leather or cotton these days.
I don't know what you use ?
