I've always used Gudebrod thread and am starting to run out of what I have or had. I've used ProWrap but for 1 I'm not crazy about it being from China and 2 the metallics don't work well for me with trim wraps with less than 3 wraps. It seemed like Gudebrod somehow gripped itself better.

Anyway I'm looking for any new suggestions for a new wrapping thread.

I really liked the Gudebrod silver Electra if anyone knows of an equivalent.

Thanks!!

I've used ProWrap for a long time with no complaints.

Scott,

Check Donart supply for Gudebrod including silver electra. Their website shows to have a selection avaliable. I ordered several spools a while back.

Scott,
In addition to ProWrap, there are Pac Bay Thread, FishHawk, Madeira (polyester), Sulky (polyester) that I have used. The polyester threads will need to be coated with CP because the polyester threads were designed for sewing machines and they add small amounts of silicone for lubrication purposes. There is also a company called Thread Art. They make a polyester embroidery thread in the same weight as the Sulky and the Madeira. They have quite a variety of Classic twist thread similar to the Gudebrod. Best of luck.

Don't forget Makoi thread. Their metallics work well for me.

I have used a lot of both Pac Bay and Fish hawk thread and am well pleased with the thread.

Some of the power pro threads are on the stiff side and cause the problem that you mention.

However, Power Pro, does have an excellent color selection.

Be safe

Been using Yenmet metallic for trim bands and underwraps. Its a very fine thread but easy to work with. Lots of color selections also

Thanks Chris.

Bingham Enterprises (sponsor) is starting to carry a greater variety of our thread. They sell both retail and wholesale.
Also, we have a great holographic braid.

Thanks fellas!

Sulky metallics are finer than the A size threads from any of the major suppliers. You might also consider silk as an alternative. Available in finer weights than A size nylon or polyester, silk can make some very distinctive wraps.
