emerald green waxed thread
I was looking on-line to find a heavy waxed thread for whipping purposes... spiral binding used for holding something together, this time a wooden handle. I bought a used (damaged) garden hod with a steam-bent, oak dowel, handle that had split causing it to be very sharp and difficult to use. I new that I could repair it by softening the wood, in warm water, and whipping the broken handle tightly with twine, about eight inches, but I wanted something other than what I had, which was dental floss. I was pleased to find the waxed thread I needed here in Maine, and in a green like the hod's wire mesh base. I ordered late one afternoon and had twine in my hands the very next morning. Unbelievably fast service for our Down East mail. So... the emerald green heavy twine. It worked very well. I had expected it to be more waxy than it was, but it worked fine, keeping tight tension on the fractured handle. It is now several weeks later, the handle looks and functions like new.
