Default Metallic wrapping thread, love or hate?

Love it or hate it? I have been using metallic wrapping thread for some time with limited success. I have relegated it to base, trim, and diamond wraps. I generally do all double wraps. I have tried different tensions, different machines, and different thread brands only to be frustrated with the results. Am I missing something? Its stiff , hard to pull back on finishing the wrap, and is generally tough doing top wraps. It's harder than stringing with gut on tennis racquets. Any suggestions?
