If C is stronger than EE then A must be stronger then both C and the EE so to clear this up put two five pound weights on a table.Run a size A thread through one and an EE thread through the other.Wrap the ends around your arms.pull the weght off the table and which one breaks.The A might bind tighter but is it as strong?Will it hold up?If one strand breaks on an A thread that has say 5 strands will it make more or less of a difference then if one strand breaks on an EE with 30 strands?This is why I use A or D for the first wrap over the feet --to bind tight and then with E or EE for the strenth to endure.Think about it your guide wrapped with a rubber band ten times around or with that piece of surgical tubing--which would stretch more??Gee if binding tight is the answer then would shrink wrap tubing be better then the surgical tubing?What are we arguing here load distribution with the A sized thread??Why not 00 thread??But I guess after this I*m going to switch to building with surgical tubing sounds like it would be quicker and cheaper.Now if I could only figure out the corelation between the 40HH guide and the 4/5 ft leader with the swivel.I would however like to know about this vertical spine finder you mentioned and how it more acuratly locates the spine by less then 1/10 of a degree.---extend the life of a blank if done properly ---- how long do they have to last. I got rods built 25 years ago by me that I dont use because I just keep building more.Ive never had one break but build more because I want to.Isnt this like a hobby?????
