Thread: 30lb braid breaking at 8lb

just a wee aside .if any of you blokes do a bit of diy repairs to leather canvas or suchlike .braid makes a bloody decent alternative to other synthetic threads . ive used it in assorted sheaths etc ,though it can be a proverbial to thread on needle it locks me up bloody good .son whose done tons of shoe repairs etc reckons its shoul d hold up .
