Actually what size thread would you use?? I tried waxed #70 and it seems to break to easy.
Secret is in the tension you apply when wrapping thread. Personally I use a quality thread from Walmart. When you finish tying, put two more extra half hitches in it and use a few drops of head cement to secure.
