Wing repair Thread

What do folks recommend for the "RIGHT" type of thread to use to oversew the patch tape on a wing?
And is it the same for a bladder surface vs canopy or is a second type needed?

And of course, any suggestions on where to buy?

I'm looking to buy some and have it available...of course following the great philosopher (Murphy's) rule that if I have it I won't need it ;)

Thanks!
Mike

Jeune Bros. on Johnson street has the thread you need. UV resistant. Not sure of the name, but they sell spools at the counter. The Singer sewing repair store across from Uptown has industrial spools avialable too.
