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.

"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.
