Using Sulky Thread ?

I have read some previous notes on this board about Sulky thread, but still have some questions.

I understand it can be used as a underwrap, but. Can you use Sulky Metallic thread for wraps, nothing else, or is it just a thread to use as a trim wrap with regular rod wrapping thread?



Thanks Doug

Sulky thread does not have the strength of the HT mettalics and shouldn't be used directly for overwraps. You can however do an overwrap in size A white regular thread apply finish,the white thread will disapear ,now you can wrap with the sulky, the guides are held in place with the white A thread and the sulky becomes or acts as trim no strength needed,some beautiful results can be had using it this way.
