I recently bought a Cortland sink tip kit which contains 12' of sinking line and 4 loop to loop connectors. The instructions say that I should cut the line to the length I want and then put a connector on each end. Etc.

My question is, "What length(s) do I want?" Assume I will make 2 sink tips out of the material. I was thinking that a 5' length and a 7' length would give me three tip lengths-5', 7', and 12' (5+7). But a 4' and an 8' sounds like a possiblity also.

What does anyone else do?
