Thread is poor quality or
may have severe twisti ng or
thread rot
• Look for severe twisti ng of threads when approximately 12 to
15 inches has been pulled off , with the ends pinched together.
Cott on threads are parti cularly suscepti ble to dry rot or wet rot
which makes thread britt le. Do not use poor quality thread, or
thread that is rott ed or britt le.

thread guides.
