Hey,
I want to sleeve my cables but because I am on a budget I am going to use Paracord but there are a lot of different types of paracord all with a different diameter. My question is: what diameter should I use for my sleeving?

Thanks in advance
Lucas

You should follow this page whereby the dimensions for the para-chord are given. It depends on the wire you're using sine higher gauge wires would mean thinner diameter meaning less sleeving dia. You could go for 3mm dia and make sure you have a neutral color wire under it otherwise it could pop out as an unsightly addition to your hard work.

Another suggestion can be to pick up one of each dia type of paracord and experiment. Lastly you should follow this thread for help with sleeving and be sure to knock on LutroO's door for additional help ;)
