Thanks for all the info, but I have looked up all the sizes and diameter of threads. I was just trying to find a thread that close to gudebrod D thread. I think I have found something that will work. I found some Rayon 30wt. thread that is real close to it.. Going to try some and try it out, Will keep you posted on the outcome

Sorry to bother everyone, but I have a question. If Gudebrod size D thread is 0.012 (TEX 80), is there a much difference in Polyester (TEX 90)

Well Ben I don't know what your trying to say, but for as flex coat goes, it does crystallize and its a pain to heat it up..

Hello everyone, well I searched everywhere trying to find out the diameter of the Fuji threads, can someone help me on this... Thanks
Forum: rodboard

what I do is I put wraps over the end where I'm going to cut the threads even. If I use multi colors I leave that last one off then cut the threads then I take a piece of scotch tape and cut it to fit at the edge of the thread that is wrapped then cover the ends of the cut threads then wrap my last color over that to a smooth finish. Or if one color just do it before you cut your tie off thread
