the ends caught on fire for a few seconds, but afterwards they felt hard, and plastic-y.

50/50 Nylon-Poly blend. I pre-twisted one wrap of nylon with one wrap of poly. Then I combined four of these pre-twisted sets before folding over and reversing the twist to finish.
It’s an interesting texture with a nice bounce.

Looks pretty thick! How are the slacks/whips?

It is fairly thick and a hair snaggy. Whips aren’t great with it, but I’m not great at whips either (wow I’m really selling it, aren’t I?).
It has that nice nylon “give” without being extra slippery. I think the extra twisting gives it a more textured/gritty feel compared to the same thing without extra twists.
I want to try it again with less torsion in the four preliminary twists.

Its a nonstop experiment! Good luck on your mission.
