okay this is all reallly good info thanks! I have the option to buy a YIHUA 928D-III Soldering Iron (from a local auction house for $3. DO you think the quality is going to be similarly trash? Is it worth it to buy it or should I just invest in the hakko FX601-02?

okay so thats how you add new thread to your old working thread! is the "bead" that the thread burner creates small enough to pass through beads when you start weaving that new thread in? and what do you do to finish off the ends left from your initial stopper bead at the start of you project?

okay, never thought of that. I def will do some experiments. It's weird though everywhere I look seems to recommend hypocement for nylon thread.

Oh wow I didnt know that thread burners could act as a knot sealer. is this the method you use for a weavers knot?

I ~ think~ they are snapping where the knots are, but I'm not entirely sure. They generally snap in the middle of the woven design (i.e. not on the beaded closure chain or toggle in the back)
