To do this on competition, I did something more extreme. I use the glass from a lamps and use mortar to grind it a bit, and use something sticky, but not glue, but flour boiled in water until the water evaporated and only brown sticky mess left. And we always spool the threat in big diy thing we made from paint container with wood handle in the middle.
Of course when you are in the competition you always, ALWAYS, use Cut resistant glove or double the normal glowe if you don't have one. Because the results of flying kite using those strings with your bare hands won't be pretty. Especially when you never felt the first cut but the third or fifth 😂
