I can see another thing happen (which I see more often the thicker the
thread gets): Thread wraps are placed on top of eachother and one wrap falls
down, letting the previous wraps untighten and the whole thing collapses.
Watch where you're walking. You took my toes in the same step as you're took
Tony's. ;o)

Not seeing what you are doing, it is hard to tell you
what is going wrong. I have seen this happen a lot
when the Whip knot is tied behind a bead. What happens
is the thread does not get tight behind the bead, it
climbes up the face of the bead. What I do is push the
wraps down behind the bead, with my fingernail, pull
tight each time and then make the knot, then a second
knot. Another thing is too many wraps and not getting
each wrap tight enough. When you pull on the thread
and clip it, the thread acts like a rubber band and
springs back under the wraps.
These are just a few common things that happen, wish I
could see what you are doing so that I can help you.
When you say the Gudebrod thread don't work for you,
YOUSE IS STEPPING ON ME TOES> LOL That is the only
thread I use.

Folks: It's probably something a "rookie tier" like
myself is doing wrong, but when Nick brought up
Guderbrod thread yesterday I think it was..Well, I
tried that brand, and I CANNOT get the whip finish
knot NOT to unravel.. 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
