I’ve had 2mm Lawson Glowire slip in my Duomid’s linelocs in strong, blustery winds. The rapid loading and unloading was the issue, I think. A steady wind state may have resulted in less slip. It’s probably fine for mid-panel tieouts, but for the corners something with more grip is in order if you don’t want to bother with knots.
