Matt get some emery or jewelers cloth and hone it glass smooth. I have never cut my thread using it and I have spun with 8/0 thread.

Anyone know if there is a packer out there that has the brassie shape but is made of plastic or ceramic? I know the brassie i have cuts thread badly. I like to use plain gudebrod 3/0 to spin with (one of my odd preferences) and the brassie i have tends to slice it. The brassie definately works better but if it cuts the thread once every fly it defeats the purpose. Bob, thanks for the article offer. List, Thanks for any help finding my product.
