Leather coaming lacing

[Painless]

I’m about to lace the cockpit coamings for my Hatz, and I’m wondering what type of leather lace I should use. I’ve gotten some “Kodiak” lace from Tandy Leather products, but it’s really “hairy” on the non tanned surface and really looks bad. I’m assuming it’s a calf leather variant. Deer hide seems a bit less course, but I’m wondering if it’s strong enough. I plan to use 3/16” lace.

thoughts??
