Sewing bag seam

My bag is starting to open up on the bottom seam. Lasted about 10 brew sessions so far. What type of thread should be used to patch it up? Was thinking about using fishing string but concerned about chemicals leaching at mash temps.

Strong thread. Poly or poly blend. Doesn't have to be anything super special, just not cheap. Ideally you want to use a serger machine.

Thanks, I will look for some strong poly thread.

On my first bag I made and I'm ready to make another I used just standard polyester sewing thread. Works great and my seams have never separated.

Not sure fishing line would take the heat well.

The temps it would see would be well under 212f so it should be ok although total overkill for sure to use fishing line.
