S-LON FIRE 6 LB CRYSTAL 0.006 IN/.15mm DIA 50 YD

When you want to create necklaces or bracelets quickly and efficiently, S-Lon Fire is up to the task. This is a micro fused, braided bead thread consisting of a gel-spun polyethylene, which is known as the strongest fiber, per diameter, ever created. It has an unbelievably high tensile strength and has been recommended for various bead weaving and jewelry making projects. S-lon Fire comes in 4 sizes: 4lb. test with a .005 in/.12 mm diameter, 6lb. test with a .006 in/.15 mm diameter, 8lb. test with a .007 in/.17 mm diameter and 10lb. test with a .008 in/.20 mm diameter. The spools come in both clear and black and are available in 3 lengths: 15, 50 and 125 yards/13.7, 45.7 and 114.3 meters. For stringing and weaving we suggest English beading needles. Use a #12 for 2-6lb. test and a #10 for larger diameters. To finish off your S-lon Fire jewelry your best option is a thread burner. The Beadsmith ThreadZaps are a perfect solution. You can control exactly where the heat is applied. Tie a knot to finish your project and burn the end. A small ball will form on the melted end, preventing the knot from untying.
