I read an article somewhere on hand sewing leather that suggested that the pre waxed 5 cord linen thread that one typically finds was inferior to the plain colored, unwaxed linen, as a rule. I bought some ( 1/4 lb spool) plain, unwaxed
from Zack White Leather. I find that it is wound somewhat in- consistently and if you try to wax it, it kind of bunches up in spots. What do you all use for a 5 cord linen and/or what tips would you have for me. I was using bow string wax, haven't got the beeswax/pitch mix made up yet.
