differences in semi-rimless liners?

[Ecliptic]

I fix semi-rimless frames all the time... but I don't know what the differences in the liners are by their technical names (for reordering purposes).

So... what is a regular cord vs. Figure 8 vs. Liner "T"?

thanks!

Figure 8 works for me. However I have recently been told by a lab benchman that there are three sizes. Rimless interliner might also be used as a name for same. I would assume that "regular chord" is just plain old monofiliment fishing line. When using fishing line to re-string please remember that the diameter (and there are several used on optical frames) is important, not the pound-test.

do the liner "t" and the figure 8 describe shapes?

Thanks!

When you select frames to purchase, be sure to carefully inspect to be sure the company is not sticking you with a solid metal liners. Take the lens out if nessesary. Chip thier filler lens, not the patients. Be sure.
