Do you ever have one of those days?

Almost spit out the Dr. Pepper when reading that one. Thanks Harry! :-)

You are too funny.

I just can't imagine that a fishing line is biodegradable. Why would anyone use it then? Interesting topic though. I can't wait to hear some more answers.

I just called Berkely, the Fireline people. What the bead store owner told you is wrong. It may be differently packaged, but it's the same stuff. Fishing fireline is not biodegradable, and that the package insert tells you to be careful with the Fireline for just that reason.

The bead store owner may have been given incorrect information from her vendor and is just passing it along.

well, may ARE. that's why "we" stay away from monofilament. it's supposed to biodegrade to protect the environment.

Geez. I knew there was a reason I hung out here more than WC.

And this just adds to my idea that there are people who just like to stir up trouble.

I'm sorry that you are having to deal with such goober heads!

Goober heads. I thought I was the only one who said that anymore. Thanks for the chuckles.

One of my all time favorites!!!

Glad you got a chuckle out of it!

Seconded from me

This is a reflection on their character, not yours...

Don't punish yourself for someone elses deficit..

Love & hugs,

A very mature outlook IMO...

You have such wonderful talent Starlia. Don't let others put you off because of their thoughtless, hurtful words..

You have such supportive friends here..

Please stay..

Love & hugs,

Mavis

VJ... That particular bead shop owner dosen't even USE thread in her creations. I am sure it is something someone else told her.

Hence... don't believe what everyone tells you! :)

I'm not going anywhere Mavis. I feel much better today and I could just snuggle everyone who sent me such sweet thoughts. Instead, Trinkett got all the cuddles and I'm sure she is about tired of me today. :-) She went to bed in her tent last night she was so fed up with me.

I'm taking some photos today and if I feel like it later I'll torch. But right now I'm playing with my new fireline and Tink's focal. :-)

That's because these new fancy lines can be monofilament, fused or braised. They do make a fire line monofilament and it is biodegradable.

Tina

I'm not entirely sure of the brands. I have PowerPro and SpiderLine. Both of those, and I would guess FireLine also, make line for fishing -- a much bigger market that crafting. PowerPro and Spiderline, and I would expect also Fireline, make monofilament fishing line that biodegrades. However, they also make fused line and braided line which are not.

The point is, you can't just ask about a brand name, you have to identify the product as well, in order to be informed properly.

I think they may have been misinformed Vicki. It is all the same product, just packaged differently.
