Pro Tips:
1 - rotate anti-clockwise to untwist and lay perfectly flat. With just 2 or 3 light wraps of Nano Silk over foam you can then tighten and tie in foams or materials that would cut easily.
2 - use white Nano Silk and simply color the last 4 inches (100mm) of thread for heads in a visible color
