The rigging on my 1/28 Camel will use thin copper tubing.
Doubled 6lb mono to make a loop,slides through the tube fairly well ((doesn't state diameter).
Will the EZ-line be a problem?
I'd use the "thin".
I read using CA on the ends will stiffen it so it can be inserted easier. But will it also thicken the ends?
Making it impossible to use in this situation.

If you use thin (not gap-filling) CA it should avoid this problem. The best way to find out is to experiment.

Unfortunately trying it out will cost about $17.
Which is why I'm asking.
Thanks for your positive answer.

I've not tried it myself, but it is said that Future/Klear will do the same job.
