In his agraffe class Isaac Sadigurski suggested using "abrasive cord",
which is like sandpaper on a string. I've had good success with it,
especially in field repair.
If you can't find it locally, go to http://www.leevalley.com and search the
products for abrasive cord. They have cord in .030, .040 and.055 as well as
tape in 3/32" and 3/16" widths.
