Matt S Report post Posted December 4, 2013 Wax is used for several reasons. It can stick the yarns of the thread together; it can give the thread water and rot resistance; it can lubricate the thread being drawn through the stitch hole; it can help the stitches to stick to one another. Different wax preparations do these jobs better than others. Beeswax is the most common and works okay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tex Shooter Report post Posted December 5, 2013 The hemp that I have used gave me a problem with the fibers coming apart at the most un-opportune times, Like when I was almost done. -- Tex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
