Alternate thread test....

[Buddy Sanders]

Duckster,

While I was doing research on this idea, I found way more than I wanted to know about threads and yarns....Suffice it to say that the '40' on your thread is reached from a formula using thickess, how much the stuff weighs, number of fiber strands, the position of the moon when the thread was made, and the current geopolitical cost/beneift ratio at the time of spooling....pretty much useless unless you are sewing with it....

If you really want to know, google 'yarn designations' (I did 'learn' that all threads are considered yarns) and, if you can stay awake and understand it, you'll see what I mean...

I did run a 'waxed' spool of the stuff. Did it pretty much as Joe suggested...if you run the drill fast enough the wax kind of melts into the thread...works, but I don't really 'need' the wax...
