Can both the braided and fused firelines be used for beading?

Hi ~ I have only used the Fireline fused & the Beadalon Wildfire which is thermally bonded. I've used some threads for their colors which might be considered woven or braided, but I like the strength of the two I mention here at the very small diameters offered for my beads that have tiny holes. I'm sorry that I can't answer your question more specifically.

I have used both because there wasn't a bead fireline when I started using fireline. I have not noticed any problems, however other beaders insist the items with just the fireline will not last.

To be honest I don't know, but since the beading supply shops and websites that I have visited offer only the fused Fireline, I would suspect that it is preferable over the braided line for bead work. The braided Fireline appears to be a stronger line which comes in 65 and 80 lb strength, and is used primarily by fishermen. A beader doesn't need an 80 lb line to construct a 6 ounce necklace.

I used this for decoration in a capey way, and did not cut it. It's gone now, so I can't answer honestly. HOWEVER, if I remember right, the knots are KNOTS, and not like knitting or crochet.... So I do not THINK it will ravel..... Sorry I can't help more !Joline

Appears to be, but I returned it because it didn't work for the beads I had

No if using tall slim spool - and laying down not so good because of depth of stationary partitions. There are other boxes designed under Arts, Crafts, and Sewing designed for spools of thread - may want to review those for this pour pose - I am a bead jewelry designer and these work for that purpose.

I have no clue.... my use of the product was limited to fabrics. My suggestion would be to contact a Fire Marshall in your area, or to do a small test yourself. A company that produces stage settings for theatrical productions might also be able to answer this. Good luck!

Yes you can make a hole in between the two that are present. I traced the hole and cut out with an xacto knife. I then burned the hole with a flame to prevent raveling of threads. Thank you and good luck.

Consider it to have a similar effect. To using different sized rods during oxy/acet . The .035" should fill in joints and beads better. Also consider a small project. Such as welding chainmaille. Wire with a small diameter will allow for smaller welds.

it is the thickness of a 12lb monofilament fishing line which has memory to knot up and fire line doesn't. Hope this helps!

Not sure. My experience with the lighter line was that it worked for a few times and then the barbs that keep the line in place became ineffect with lighter line You could cut longer pieces and sick them all the way through, crossing over the center. That might work, but I am not sure.

My answer is the same as the others. No this is finer than the #18. This D can be compared to C-Lon thread. I use both for fine beading. The #18 I use more with kumihimo. I hope this helps you.

Yes as long as you use line of the same weight and length. You could even get a roll and cut to length.

it handles braided line just fine-put a couple of wraps of dacron line prior to putting on the new thin dia. braided lines.

The original is the only type I have used so far, but I have successfully used it to make collage pieces that incorporated fabric and glass "gems" in the designs. Sorry I can't offer more help

I would use 30lb mono and 50lb braided. I use cajun red in mono. It does not show up easily in the water. About any kind of braided line will work. I also like to use suffix line. Really good but pricey.

hello Nora, I cut fireline with a scissors, usually the small embroidery type of scissors. Hope that helps.

I only use mono and fluoro but can tell you the cutting edge is very sharp and serrated so should be able to cut braid.

Beading as in making necklaces? Anything will work for that. I'm not sure I know what beading you are talking about.
