Has anyone used the Sulky Polylite threads for rod building? Re: sulky polylite variegated

G'Day Don 60 weight embroidery thread might be a bit thin for binding guides as all the builders I know use 40 weight & even that is thinner than "A" thread .It should be fine for DEC.Wraps it will take you longer to fill a long wrap .Also there could be a problem with silicon on the thread which could cause you "Fish Eyes" in your epoxy a work around if this happens is to put a piece of the thread in the epoxy mix(This is supposed to break the surface tension in the epoxy).I have used embroidery thread for around the last 8 years with no problems & a lot of other rod builders use it also Regards Baz Bundeena NSW Australia Re: sulky polylite variegated

slightly off topic, but I've had luck with Mattler's polysheen. huge color range. _______________________________________________ If I'm not going to catch anything, then I'd rather not catch anything on flies. Prostaff Rodhouse [www.rodhouse.fr] Re: sulky polylite variegated

Does the Mettler polysheen require color preserver? Re: sulky polylite variegated

Don in my opinion it's safer to use CP on any embroidery thread due to the silicon.I am sure there others who don't use it & have no problem I've never had a problem but I've also used CP all the time & I don,t want to take a chance of a problem Regards Baz Bundeena NSW Australia Re: sulky polylite variegated

hi Don
I've used polysheen both with and without CP. it reacts perfectly well to CP, and I think it's a classic thread for wrapping-- I'm not 100% sure though. here's the results of my CP test [g0nefishin9.wordpress.com] here you have a build I did with Polysheen Golden Grain (941), 2 coats of CP and 4 coats of Permagloss. [g0nefishin9.wordpress.com] without CP, I haven't had any silicone related problem, but maybe I was just lucky. I used Polysheen in Rust (1342) [g0nefishin9.wordpress.com] hope this helps. _______________________________________________ If I'm not going to catch anything, then I'd rather not catch anything on flies.
