jbshan Posted October 26, 2015 #31 Posted October 26, 2015 Thread for sewing comes in basically standard sizes for the purpose; button and carpet, embroidery, normal sewing. Commercial sewing probably has more sizes, for bluejeans, tarps and other canvas-like materials. You'll have to test some out for your purpose and scale. Some of the really small linen stock is for sutures, so no strands, just a single twist. It goes in and comes out easier that way.

flying_dutchman2 Posted November 18, 2015 #33 Posted November 18, 2015 For rigging I use clear nail polish. I have a model I built in 1987 and the rat lines are still secure. CA when I have to glue something quick or I cannot clamp it. I use a drop of CA here and there and the rest of the area I use the white glue. Marc JesseLee, mtaylor, reklein and 1 other 4 Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J. Tasman Unofficial motto of the VOC: "God is good, but trade is better" Many people believe that Captain J. Cook discovered Australia in 1770. They tend to forget that Dutch mariner Willem Janszoon landed on Australia’s northern coast in 1606. Cook never even sighted the coast of Western Australia).

Ulises Victoria Posted February 8, 2016 #36 Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) Did anybody used Elmer's Clear transparent school glue for rigging? Zoltan Haven't used that kind of glue because I think it will not dry flat and would leave a shiny spot. I may be wrong, though. As always "Experiment" Anyway, I am very happy with the results I get from diluted white glue and/or Testor's FLAT varnish. Edited February 8, 2016 by Ulises Victoria mtaylor and Martin W 2 There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT. Current Project Build Log: Soleil Royal in 1/72. Kit by Artesania Latina. Last finished projects: Royal Ship Vasa 1628; French Vessel Royal Louis 1780. 1/90 Scale by Mamoli. 120 Cannons Future projects already in my stash: Panart: San Felipe 1/75; OcCre: Santísima Trinidad 1/90; Wish List: 1/64 Amati Victory, HMS Enterprise in 1/48 by CAF models. So much to build, so little time!
