source for thin dyneema/spectra thread?

[raisins]

I'm finding thick threads but not fine in dyneema.

I'm wanting to cover my rest with a dyneema thread lashing. Right now, I'm using UHMW tape in 7 mil (0.007 inches). I'd like to keep around the same size or I'll have to re-tune my bow.

I guess this would be a TEX size of 30 or less.

Understanding Thread Sizing

DetailsHave you ever wondered what the letters in thread sizes stood for? Or why some threads are sized differently? The thread size tells you the thickness of a thread. Getting the proper thickness affects the strength, diameter, sewing machine used, and visibility. It’s an important decision...

Thanks, I didn't know that existed!

I'm starting to re-think my lashing plan. It's gonna take a lot of wraps to cover that using 0.007 thread. And the lashing can only be done easily with the rest blade removed from the rest. If something happens mid-season, I don't want to have to remove the rest blade and risk slightly throwing everything off (and then I'm tuning my bow in the driveway in the snow instead of hunting).

If I can find a UHMW tape with a good adhesive, then I'd settle on it.

Here is something that you might be interested in. It works pretty good.

Thanks. That's similar to what I've used before, but with a lot of shooting it wears down enough to be loud/change tune too quickly for me.

The dyneema/spectra wears like iron in comparison and is slick enough to be quiet. It doesn't mute a bouncy arrow as well, but I'm so underbowed that my arrow never moves around during the draw.

300 pound test is similar to the size thread that comes with a speedy stitcher

Maybe applied over a small band of location specific dampening material (like the Vaportrail felt strips or something)?

I've been using 7 mil dyneema tape (UHMW tape). The only issue is that my usual brand (Tapecase) has gone to a bunk adhesive (about like blue masking tape).

PS I can buy better tape from 3M, but they only come in long rolls and it gets really expensive fast.

Hercules or Spectra (Power Pro) fishing line is UHMPWE I believe or close enough for that application.

I have used this tape before and it wears like iron. It is a teflon tape. It is .015 thick.

I know you’re looking for a wrap but Dudley recommended and I started using a couple of years ago simple Gorrilla Brand duct tape on my Hamskea rest (Primer steel uncoated) whale tail. Stuff is super tough, wears like iron, is silent and it still looks new after hundreds of shots. Plus it’s relatively cheap. Not as far as tape goes but compared to rolls of serving thread and what not, it is. I just cut two pieces the length of each arm of the whale tail and snugged them down into the bottom of the v as much as possible. Of course be sure to wipe down the arms with acetone or 91% alcohol before applying the tape.
