[TowerTalk] UV resistant wire ties

[TexasRF--- via TowerTalk]

Steve, I have found that ties made from ordinary 2 conductor + ground house 
 wire holds up very well here in Texas. Available everywhere, choice of 
Black or  White covering and you cut it to the length of your liking.
 
Once you get the knack of installing, it even looks pretty good. I use a  
pair of Vice-Grip pliers to install by clamping the wire ends and twisting 
until  the excess breaks off.

This has  been discussed before, but without a really satisfying answer.

Does any  one have the brand and product number of a UV resistant wire 
tie, proven  to last many years ?

I have used many so-called UV resistant ties that  are junk. OTOH, the 
wire ties provided by M2 with my 6 year old 40M4LLDD  have held up very 
well, despite the UV-rich environment here in  NM.
