Lubricate rope to fit it through a tight hole?

[Triggaaar]

Bridge took two children today. Slack.

To tighten, perhaps loop some strong cord (maybe a couple of loops of paracord) around either knot and then use some form of twisting to pull the knots together.

I think I'd like to go with this idea. Were you just thinking of twisting the paracord with some timber that's permanently in place?

Trying to find a local camping / climbing shop that sells it as I'd like to do it tomorrow, but can only find the original stuff online.

Trigaar, that's what I was thinking of, yes. That way you can re-tighten in the future if you need to. I buy mine online, but make sure it is actual Paracord and not just green string, cos I've seen cheap imitations. It should be 7 strand I think.

Lubricating rope to fit it through a tight hole is often a problem.
