I fitted a couple of bib taps for a friend and when I left them they were

its really too squidgy for the job. The taps are now skewiff.

I suspect its plumbers hemp that I need, but dont have. What are suitable
alternatives that I might have kicking around (even if not strictly legal
these days)?

You can get PTFE cord which is better suited to that kind of thing. (You
can still get hemp as well).
