esantoro Report post Posted January 8, 2009 Has anyone here ever used Coats Nylbond in 207 to 346? Today I received a swatch chart from Coats/Barbour and it got me to thinking about trying Nylbond instead of Dabond. I'll post pictures a bit later of the dark brown and chestnut #2 swatches.

esantoro Report post Posted January 9, 2009 Since I will be buying in bulk directly from coats, does anyone see a problem with bonded poly or nylon sitting on the shelf for around three years, if necessary? Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even plain cotton and linen threads are still usable after ten to twenty years, as long as they are stored in a nice dry place! I also remember a ball of hemp, that Grandfather once used to make up his own threads for hand stitching, that had been lying about the shop for at least twentyfive years, which still appeared to be in good, usable, condition!

This is good to know, because I may be buying a two or three year supply of bonded Poly.EdHi,We've had reels (copps) of bonded nylon and polycotton thread lying around for years, before using it, without any problems at all.

esantoro Report post Posted January 16, 2009 It is my understanding that Barbour now owns Coats. Word today from Coats is that Nylbond is Barbour's bonded nylon. Coats is sending me a sample spool of 207 Nylbond, all they currently have in stock, before I go through with my order for Dabond. ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabond is better in this regard, so I went ahead and put in my order for Dabond in chestnut and sizes of 277 and 346. ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
