Step 4Knot and drop!
Tie a LOOSE knot in one end of your paracord. This is to stop it falling through the tube until we're ready. I have found a figure eight works well.
Drop the non-knotted end down through the hose until it comes out the other end. Make sure you have a neat end on the paracord or it won't make it all the way down the tube! If it gets stuck try holding the end of the paracord in the tube and pulling the length yet to be inserted. This straightens out the cord and helps it slip down. Sucking on the end also helps draw it through.
Move the knot up to the end of the tube and slowly tighten it until you can just push it inside the tube. It should be as a tight a fit as possible. I can feel the bulge of the knot being pulled through the tube when I run it through.

Couldn't have found your post at a better time. I have been racking my brain so I wouldn't have to spend money on what should be an easy fix. Can't believe I didn't think of paracord before this. That stuff is almost as universal as duct tape.
