RE: [VFB] Guderbrod Thread Question

I always add a tiny dab of head cement either way, but just vary the type of finishing knot and you should find one that suits your tying style. I am not  picky but don't seem to have many problems. Either way, when I finish a bunch I just do the dab.   R    ______________________________________________ Reuven Segal   B. Engineering (Aerospace)- Final Year B.

No matter if I whip finish 3-4-5-6 etc rounds, if I snipped off the thread really close, it (the knot) would come unraveled, like some of the nylon ropes that there are that just will not hold a knot..Like it has more wax than it needed??? So, I have been using Uni Thread and Danville's with no problems..The thread (The Guderbrod) "feels" like great thread, so, am i doing something wrong??? Cause I have a few spools and hate to see anything go to waste, Thanks, Chuck
