I have been using loops of the wrapping thread or a really neet, long metal needle threader to pull the tag end through. Neither is really satisfactory. The wrapping thread loops want to break on me, or cut the tag. (The wraps are tight!) The metal threader will sometimes cut the tag off short where it is hard to get a grip on it to trim it.
So, what is this "tribal" polyester thread and where do I find it? Would a bit of mono work? How about the little mono "threaders" for dental floss? For that matter, what about dental floss? This is undoubtedly the thing that gives me more trouble with wrapping than anything else.
