I used non-split corrugated loom, secured with safety wire. Secure, permanent, flexible, adjustable, redoable, and easy.
I used heavy duty synthetic cord, perhaps 1/16 dia and very flexible as a fish line. Scrap dowel with a dia about 3/4 of the ID of the conduit was made into toggles about 1 1/2" long and tied to the ends of lines just over twice the length of the conduit. I used a blow gun to send the line down the conduit, wondering just how far it would go before hanging up. It shot out the other end, across the shop, and bounced off the far wall. (That's when I installed the second toggle...) The length allows the line to do the job, be reset to the other original position, and pulled again, or used bidirectionally. Duct tape attaches the wire to the line and makes a smooth cone to avoid snags in the conduit. The toggles prevent the end of the line from disappearing into the conduit. Yes, the 4 pulling lines probably add 4, perhaps 5 oz. to my empty weight....
*SNIP*
"Leaving a "tied-off" line in the conduit to help pull a new wire throughis a great idea. But remember that when you use that line to pull thenext wire through, you need to also pull through another "spare" line totie off, awaiting your inevitable "next" wire pull..."
