Skin-on-Frame: Thread for SOF Skin?
By:Timt
Date: 4/30/2009, 12:46 pm

We're part way through the frame on my son's Seapup and I'm accumulating the materials for the later steps. From a quick search of the KBBB archives and some books it appears that dental floss is a good thread for sewing the skin.

Any other/better thread recommendations?
Waxed or unwaxed? Mint flavored?
Am I likely to run into issues with "Cory's goop" bonding to waxed floss?

I apologize if this topic has been beaten to death here.
