MeshStyles in ParametricPlot3D???

The following works and produces a cylinder whose polygon edges are red:

ParametricPlot3D[
{0.84 Cos[t], u, 0.84 Sin[t], EdgeForm[RGBColor[1,0,0]]},
{t,0,2Pi},{u,0,3},
PlotRange -> {{-1,1},{0,3},{-1,1}},
PlotPoints -> {32,32},
Shading -> False, ... (etc)...]

But this elicits a message about different colours being generated in the plot and renders a cylinder with black polygon edges at the default Thickness[]:

ParametricPlot3D[
{0.84 Cos[t], u, 0.84 Sin[t], EdgeForm[Thickness[0.0001]]},
{t,0,2Pi},{u,0,3},
PlotRange -> {{-1,1},{0,3},{-1,1}},
PlotPoints -> {32,32},
Shading -> False, ...(etc)...]

If this is the wrong approach, how does one set the style of the "mesh" in a parametricPlot3D of a surface?

Thanks in advance
