Hi Woody,
The prices are very good; however with the cord strength respectively 215 lb test and 36 lb test, they are not appropriate for HPR. I guess the (red cord) 215 lb test would be more than efficient for LPR Estes type rockets-particularly better than the usual elastic band.

I just came across the Kevlar. I can't buy any myself, but I thought I'd post it if it was a good deal for anyone.

The red cord in the first link is about the same price/ft as $4 for 50' of 100# at eRockets, which I use for LPR.
I don't usually need to buy in bulk quantities more than this, then I can order a SEMROC kit or two along with it...
