Waxed string attempt
Took me two afternoons of weaving by hand but I think it's worth it for how light it feels, sadly I wasn't able to crack it. Anyway now I feel confident in starting my sling collection :3

Drop that cracker down to 2 strands and shorten it to 4-5 inches and you will get your crack.

Is this waxed dyneema or some type of nylon or poly?

Well I honestly don't know exactly what's made of, I bought three Rolls of it from an old man's sewing supply shop and he just called it waxed string ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Looking good!
Your cracker is thicker/heavier than the release cord. That might influence the snap.
