Where can I get clear-colored (or white) twist ties that you usually find when unpacking an electronic product, used to tie the wires/cables? Not the short, flat paper twist ties on the bread loaf packaging, but at least 6" long and thinner (not flat), plastic(?)-looking?
I'm also looking for zip ties that are very narrow, no more than 1/16" in width, and at least 6" long?
I have searched hard and not found what I need. The main problem is most I see are too wide, and short.

For "miniature" zip ties that come closest to your spec, try here
Thank you for all the links! What does "bundle diameter" mean? In zip ties many specify something like 3/32"-2" bundle diameter. Is the smaller number the individual zip tie width? What is the 2"?

Amazon, Home Depot, Lowe's, NAPA, Walmart, Radio Shack, or any electronic or electrical-products shop in town.
The bundle diameter is the outer diameter of a wire bundle or harness. Why don't you buy a pack that has an assortment of ties (different sizes) and then decide what size of tie works for you?
By the way, for indoors work or for harnesses that are not exposed to the elements such as in a vehicle's cabin, you can always use electrical harness waxed-string tie. This is a flat and narrow string that is widely used on aircraft work because it's lighter than plastic. But you have to know how to tie it by hand: http://www2.tech.purdue.edu/at/cours...1B/CH11_12.pdf

Thanks for the bundle diameter explanation. I know many places sold them, but have trouble knowing the actual width. I need very thin ones that can go through small holes.
