Default Clear Yaw string tape?

Does anyone know who still supplies these canopy holes?

I have seen a glider that had a very small, round hole
for the yaw string drilled in the canopy. The owner
tied knots inside and out, tighly against the hole.

That was probably 35 years ago and I don't remember
what or who. I would not recommend it.

Scotch clear packing tape. Cut it into a little triangle
(for style
points), stick the yarn on (I prefer green - with a
knot at both ends),
and carefully place dead center on canopy, as far back
as you can
stand.

Doesn't shrink or leave much residue like white tape.
And you can
kinda see through it...

I also it to cover the big horizontal tail attachment
opening on my LS6
- one piece fits perfectly.
