Finer strands will have less torque but can be packed with more winds.

Thanks, Chris. Actually, I should have been more exact. We have a rubber
stripper, and have been stripping .250 rubber down to about .140 or so. What I
was wondering was if 4 strands of .070 would have an advantage over two strands
of .140, other than the mass of the knot.
