[TowerTalk] Pull Rope in Conduits?

I'm about to place a number of 150' Sched 40 PVC conduits between my shack 
and new tower.   I want to end up with small 200 lb. stength nylon twine in 
each conduit, then use that small twine to pull through a larger 1/4" nylon 
rope for the actual cable pulls.

Should I use a fish tape to pull through the small twine as I glue on each 
additional section of conduit?  I'm concerned about the PVC cement sticking 
to the nylon twine.  Or is there an easy way to install the small twine 
after a whole 150' run of conduit is completely glued together?
