[pct-l] Alternatives for tent rope

[dude at fastmail.ca (dude)]

I am looking for a super-light-weight alternative to regulay nylon 
cord for pitching a tent or tarp.  

This seems absolutely over-the-top crazy, but I have to check it 
out.  I was looking at my Glide dental floss and saw that it is made 
by the Gore Corporation, which also makes Goretex.  The floss is made 
of teflon, which is what bullet-proof vests used to be made from.  
This got me thinking that I might be able to use the floss to pitch a 
tent/tarp.

Has anyone ever tried anything similar?  ...or have information about 
the strength of this floss?

thanks,
dude
