Could some of you familar with Fishhawk threads help me with the following?
1. What is the difference in regular metallic Fishhawk thread and their "P" metallic?
2. What is the diameter of Fishhawk's variegated thread?

Regular metallic and P are different in that the "P" thread has a polyester core and the regular metallic has a nylon core, rice paper covering and then the metallic on top of that. It is available in A and D in the "P" thread and "A" in the metallic. The verigated thread is available in "A" only.

Hopefully I answered your questions fully!

Kevin

Using my 0-1 inch mic and my cheapo calipers I got .006 of an inch on some red Metallic, I have no idea if this is within there tolerances. I got the same number on both.
