Serving High-Modulus Line (Dynex Dux)

[svaletheia]

Hello again,

Working on finishing my Dynex Dux re-rigging - about to put the masts up and had a question: What is the best way to serve Dux for the area around the spreader tip?

I was thinking about a wrap with a friction electrical tape, then what is essentially a long "whipping" - e.g. "service" but without respect to any "lay" since a 12-strand doesn't exactly have a "lay"... I have 9mm (mainmast) and 7mm (mizzen) Dux, and was considering serving both with #36 tarred seine nylon... Would that be sufficient chafe protection for such an important place on the rig?
