Will a 8mm cotton rope work for hanging?

Been reading up on the threads and they recommend around 12mm and polyester. Will this work? Also thinking of putting some material in-between the rope and neck to help with strangulation I have a fairly thin snood is this a good idea?

There's low risk of injury if it fails so why not? Try it.
(Make sure you've exhausted all the options before ctb. Suicide is a high risk, life changing decision so try other high risk, life-changing decisions like reconnecting with an old friend or trying a zany new lifestyle first. If it goes horribly wrong, you can ctb then.)

low risk of injury??? the rope could work and then snap minutes in and they could be left with brain damage… OP please do more research and don't be impulsive

Yeah I didn't really understand it feels like high risk if the rope fails although I plan on tying in to a doorknob throwing it over the frame and hanging off the balcony. It's just the diameter that I'm worried about I don't know if it's too thin?

i would not try that rope especially over a balcony, bc you need to make sure the rope/ligature you use can support your weight. there are many threads out there to use as resources. like this one or this thread which has links to more threads with resources on hanging.
