I am helping with a big party in a giant tent.
I need to criss-cross airline cables overhead to hang some decorations.

Where can I buy this stuff?
Home Depot only had heavy guage material...I was hoping for something 1/4" around at the biggest. I would also like an entire roll of it, not just 50' lengths.

Is there any special tricks or tips to tightening and clamping?

Thanks!

You should be able to buy aircraft cable in 1/16, 1/8 or 1/4 by the foot at HD or Lowes or any good hardware store. If you can find it, 1/16 should do the trick.
