Regarding ===> spacers for ladder line

I have been using plain-old-wood cut to whatever size is necessary and then 
boil-the-heck-out-of-it in canning paraffin for use as insulators and 
spacers. It'll last longer than most of us have life left in us...

I still have an inch-thick piece of interior grade plywood that was boiled 
in paraffin back around 1978 bolted to the top of my Rohn-25 top-plate being 
used as a side-thrust guide that is as good as the day it was installed 
32-years ago.

The old-timers of 80-years-ago used this technique way before many of us 
were born !!
