Help Making sure partial hanging goes right

[IMAFRAIDDAVE]

I would rather use a method that is much easier such as a gun but the gun laws in my state are very strict and I have a record of mental health issues.

The only real option I have is partial hanging and I cannot afford to mess it up and go to the hospital.

I need help choosing my rope, making sure I get the slipknot right, and insuring it actually works.

For the rope my options are sisal rope, polypropylene, and paracord. I know nylon will work terribly snd I am guessing it is the same for other slippery ropes? Either way advice on rope material would be great.

And the other two questions are more open answered but any help would be appreciated because like I said, I cannot afford to fail.

Any strong, sturdy rope will work; polypropylene ropes are good because they can support a lot of weight. You have to choose one that doesn't have much elasticity, as it will stretch significantly when you apply your weight.

Mine has no elasticity at all, it's a static braided polypropylene rope. Almost the thickness of a finger, 12 mm.

To prevent the knot from unraveling you can tie the noose knot with a stopper knot.
