Hikes run Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Would a 40wt embroidery thread be closer to size A or D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob m Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 40wt embroidery thread is slightly smaller than A nylon thread. Remember that most of these are made for machine use and are treated with a lubricant. Do not use Rayon as they do not like the chemicals we use for finishing.

Hikes run Posted January 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 So other than having to use CP before epoxy it's fine to use then? I was gifted a bunch of polyester embroidery thread and was hoping I could use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbush Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Your best bet is to use it only on dec wraps. CP and guide wraps are not your friend IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclebunker Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 "Embroidery" thread is the bomb! It's a polyester, and-depending on the mfr.- I prefer it to nylon. Madeirea and Sulky are polyesters that are now used extensively by rodbuilders; I've found a product called "Gliss" with which I've replaced most of my inventory. I like the colors,the sheen, and the workability. Treat it the same as nylon (c.p. or no c.p.,depending on the effect you want.) And at $4-$5/ 1000m spool,you can avoid the "specially for rod-builders" rip-off. a rod n a reel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
