Its tangling because dental floss is wound extremely tightly on the spool. This gives it a bit of "memory" so when you spool a bunch out it tries to get all coily.
Dental floss is extremely similar to the fibers used to make modern archery bow string (Dacron/Waxed) It is a rather strong fiber, but in the dental format the fibers aren't wound, they are just laid together and waxed.
ahh could i use waxed dental floss?
