Sticky cord

I have two different types of orange accessory cord (not Ironwire/Guywire) from Lawson that fit that description and neither has gone sticky. Is it the solid core one with white/orange flecks?

Actually looks more like a 2.5 mm to me I guess.    I have a lighter orange one that only weighs .95 Oz for 50 ft that I use sometimes.

I don’t recognize that cord.

I’ve only gotten spectra cords from mld

, z-packs, and Lawson. The MLD was Green.

it’s pretty clear that the color and the coating was only on the outside of the cord the inside of the fibers are kind of white looking when you kind of open the cord up

In any case that coating broke down

A post from 2011 described the heavier zpacks cord as sticky

Maybe it didn’t break down, maybe it was always sticky since I never used it I wouldn’t have known.

It does look like Lawsons. I believe he doesn’t manufacture that particular one anymore. I used it for my hammock setup and I recall it having a waxy slight tacky residue to it brand new. Breaks down over time. Just checked those lines in the gear closet and they still are a slight bit tacky. Nothing that comes off on my hands though. I remember this being great for tying and locking in knots or Dutchware gear. (on second thought/sight, mine has reflective tracers in it and no core)
