Hello Museum-L,

I am looking for information regarding the decay or life-span of
monofilament line, a.k.a. fishing line.  Per the artist's instructions, we
have just used a high grade monofilament to hang a delicate, relatively
lightweight work of contemporary sculpture.  I am aware that monofilament
degrades in UV light and would like to set up a reasonable schedule for
periodically replacing it.  Were it to break, the sculpture would very
likely be destroyed.  Would once a year be too often?  Not often enough?

Any recommendations or guidance would be welcome.

Many thanks,
