This one is built on a Rainshadow RCLB80M with an Alps Centra-Lock seat, Alps XTCXNLG guides, hypalon foregrip, and rubberized non-skid over corktape rear grip. Wraps are: underwrap; 5896 green nylon(no cp)with cobalt blue, royal blue, teal, and green marbling. Guide wraps are 50 NCP cobalt. Inlays are 607 NCP mint and 524 MET aquamarine twisted together. This is also my first attempt at applying Diamondite over FlexCoat....worked great! I attempted some marbling with the Diamondite, and the results were a bit different than im used to. The diamondite remained so thin for so long, it was difficult to keep the colors from blending too much. I opted for the thicker flexcoat for the marbling to get the vivid color definition, and used 3 coats of diamondite for the final finish coats....great stuff!! I started the the rod at 7am this morning, and handed it to the customer at 8 pm this eve...first time ive been able to cure 4 finish coats in a single day! Hats of to the Swifty guys...great product!

Scott,
I think that you do beautiful work, some of the best that is being done by anyone, anywhere. There is a lot of originality, there is obviously a great deal of attention to detail, I like your color choices, I like the marbling that you do and naturally like the tiger wraps that you came up with and now everyone is doing. In fact, I like everything about your work except--------your printing. If you remember I kidded you about this a year or so ago. Sorry, but it does not seem to me that the printing fits. Everything else is really outstanding except the printing.
